Removing Donald Trump from the ballot in Maine does turn the former president into a martyr, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu concurred Sunday.
“Do you agree with some of the Republicans, even Chris Christie, for example, who argue that taking him off the ballot — or at least trying to — makes Donald Trump a martyr?” CNN’s Dana Bash asked Sunday on “State of the Union.”
“Of course! Donald Trump has played this victim card wonderfully over the past year. Nothing on policy, nothing on the future of America, but that victimization thing, which — the irony there is just incredible, frankly,” Sununu said.
Sununu, a rare, long-time Republican critic of Trump, has made it his mission to keep the former president from winning the nomination in 2024. He’s thrown his support behind former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, boosting her with his endorsement and joining her on the campaign trail she crisscrosses the key early voting state.
