New Hampshire Governor Calls Out Republican Establishment in Austin Speech

In a fiery speech at the Texas ‌Tribune Festival, New Hampshire Republican Governor Chris⁣ Sununu criticized the Republican establishment and took⁢ aim⁤ at former President Donald ‌Trump. Speaking in the liberal city of⁢ Austin, Sununu made his ⁤stance ⁣clear,‌ stating that Republicans will lose if Trump becomes the ⁣party’s nominee.

The festival, which features ‌a lineup⁣ of political speakers and newsmakers, kicked off with Sununu as the keynote speaker. ‌Other⁢ notable figures scheduled to speak include West Virginia ⁤Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, former GOP Arkansas ⁢Governor⁤ Asa Hutchinson, and authors ‍Nikole Hannah-Jones and Bari Weiss.

During a conversation‌ with Texas ​Tribune co-founder Evan Smith, Sununu discussed an opinion piece in ⁣the New York Times that outlined strategies to eliminate Trump as the Republican ‍nominee. ‍Sununu, who‍ has been labeled a Republican In‍ Name ⁢Only (RINO), called Trump “too‌ dumb to⁤ be a danger to democracy,” dismissing fears about his impact.

Sununu predicted​ that neither Trump⁣ nor President Joe Biden would secure⁤ their party’s nomination⁢ in the end. He also criticized ​fellow Republicans in Texas for acquitting Attorney General Ken Paxton, calling it “embarrassing” and stating that the evidence‌ against ‌Paxton was clear.

While ⁢Sununu considered running ⁤for president in 2024, he ultimately decided to support the Republican nominee, even⁣ if it turned out to be Trump. However, when asked directly about supporting Trump, Sununu remained noncommittal.

Trump recently‌ criticized ⁣Sununu as “selfish” for failing to build a full-service Veterans Affairs hospital‌ in New Hampshire. ⁣Despite this,⁢ Sununu urged Republicans to look beyond Trump and nominate a⁤ candidate who can win in 2024, emphasizing the need to put aside selfish⁢ interests and ego.

According to polling,‌ many Republican voters⁣ are open to supporting a new candidate,‌ which could pose a ⁤challenge to Trump. Sununu ⁤also suggested‌ that Biden could face difficulties with a Republican-launched impeachment inquiry in the U.S. House, citing⁣ issues ​such as‌ inflation and ⁤rising credit ⁣card ⁢debt.

However, Sununu‍ acknowledged that​ both Trump and Biden share responsibility for overspending that will burden ⁢future generations. He described himself‌ as a principled​ free-market conservative with moderate social views.

While Sununu supports exploring ⁤alternative‌ energy sources, he emphasized the importance ⁣of energy independence for a ​stable ⁣economy. He also noted that Republicans who take⁢ a hard line on social issues like abortion have⁣ not fared well⁤ in ‌elections.

Sununu⁤ believes‍ that abortion laws should be determined at the state level, in line with the U.S. Supreme Court’s guidance. He also opposed a parental rights ‌bill in New ⁤Hampshire that would have required schools to notify parents about their child’s gender identity⁢ questions.

Lastly, Sununu​ criticized the approach of allowing homelessness to persist in big cities ⁤in the name of social justice, ‍highlighting the⁣ issues faced ‌on the streets.
