New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu said Tuesday he would vote for Donald Trump if he’s the Republican nominee, even if he’s a convicted felon.
“I think most of us will support the Republican nominee, no question,” he told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins when asked if he thought Trump had the character to be president, adding “we need Biden to lose.”
Asked if he would vote for Trump, in that case, if he was a convicted felon, Sununu answered, “right now, most of America looks like they would vote for him, because he is winning,” referencing hypothetical general election matchup polling.
Pressed again on his own choice, he said, “I will support the Republican nominee, absolutely.”
“This shouldn’t shock anybody. There shouldn’t be a surprise that the Republican governor, and most of America, will end up going against Biden, because they need to see a change in this country,” he continued, later saying, “make no mistake about it, Biden is that bad of a president, even Trump would win.”
Sununu, who is not seeking reelection, defended former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, the candidate he has endorsed, as the best Republican candidate to bolster down ballot races, saying, “she wins Senate seats, governorships, and brings those other opportunities to the states, and the country, to actually get stuff done.”
