New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu on His Potential Run for President in 2024

STEPHANOPOULOS: “Can you see any circumstance by which you would support Donald Trump in 2024?”

SUNUNU: “Look, not really, because I think there’s going to be a lot of great candidates out there. I’m excited to see who runs for president on both sides. I don’t think Joe Biden is running. I think it’s going to be a wide open race on the Republican side, I think everybody who wants to get in will get in. That’s a good thing! That’s a great thing. You see new ideas, they are going to be out there. As kind of the referee of the first-in-the-nation primary here in New Hampshire, I take a lot of responsibility. We have a lot of fun with it to be sure, but we also hold them to a whole different standard than the rest of the country. You’ve got to come and we’ve got to buy into you as a person. All right, we got to look you in the eye and buy into you as an individual before we even touch policy here. That’s why grassroots retail politics, constituent service, connection with the individual really does matter in a place like New Hampshire. It will be a lot of fun.”

STEPHANOPOULOS: "You said referee, you'd be the front-runner in New Hampshire if you decided to run for President."

SUNUNU: "Well, maybe, I suppose, I don't know. You know, a lot of folks are talking about that. Look, I've got a state to run. Unlike Congress, I don't get vacation, it's a 24/7 job, 365. Unlike Congress I have to balance a budget in the next couple of months. Unlike Congress I have a lot of demands on me and I love that, It's a hard job, but man, it is so fulfilling when you get stuff done. I guess that leading by example and given where New Hampshire is, we've been very successful in a lot of areas. I've gotta make sure we continue to lead by example so when folks come in here they know there is a whole new standard of accountability in terms of what you're going to deliver as a public servant.
