New Hampshire Republican Governor Chris Sununu believes President Joe Biden won the 2020 election, but claims Don Bolduc – a GOP Senate candidate who has consistently pushed election falsehoods – because he put forward a variety of arguments “when he voted on election day “into consideration.
“It’s not just a question: you can’t say, ‘Well, we strongly disagree on this one issue, so we shouldn’t vote.’ I don’t think anyone should be a voter on an issue regardless of the issue, ”Sununu told CNN This Morning host on Tuesday.
Bolduc, a retired Army Brigadier General who is defying incumbent Democratic Senator Maggie Hassan, has delayed his responses related to false 2020 election claims, though he still peddled some falsehoods after winning the Republican nomination to represent him. State of granite in the United States – The Senate had protected.
“We may disagree about what happened in 2020, or people may be focused on the conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 election. In the end, the vast majority of voters, especially independent voters who haven’t yet made a decision, they vote on inflation, they vote on the cost of goods, they vote to get a mortgage or to find an apartment, ”said Sununu, who is seeking re-election.
Recent polls by CNN conducted by SSRS in battlefield states found economics to be the number one issue for voters this half of the season, well ahead of voting rights and electoral integrity.
Asked by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins if he think Republicans in Congress and Bolduc have a plan to fight inflation, which they’ve led many times during the campaign, Sununu said, “Well, I’m really sure you’re going to send the same people back to Washington, you won’t get any different results. Not even close. ”
Sununu, who supported one of Bolduc’s opponents in the primary race, touted Bolduc as a war hero who worked on mental health issues and said Bolduc wanted to “mix things up”.
“You can’t say you’ll get a different result if you vote for the same old Democrats. We want different results in this country and the only way to get them is to put a different system in place,” he said.
Sununu also condemned a joke made Monday by Arizona Republican government candidate Kari Lake regarding the attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband.
“There’s just no room for that. This is serious,” he said, before adding, “The lines are moving on both sides. It’s not just one party or the other.”
Sununu then cited the alleged conspiracy to assassinate conservative Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, as well as the shootings of GOP Representative Steve Scalise and Democratic Representative Gabrielle Giffords, as evidence of escalating violence in American politics.
