Former President Donald Trump will handily defeat former Gov. Nikki Haley in the Granite State, establishment New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) forecasted Wednesday, saying Haley only wanted a “strong second” place result.
Sununu’s comment represents a dramatic shift from previous statements of strong exceptions that Haley would “defeat” Trump in New Hampshire:
- “Nikki Haley can … give Trump that defeat that no one thought was possible in the next few weeks. And I think that’s very likely to happen,” Sununu said in December.
- “Oh, it’s an absolute win… If everyone that could vote in the primary comes out and votes, she’s going to win in a landslide. And that’s not an exaggeration,” he said in December.
- “I think she wins here in New Hampshire,” he said in January.
