Former New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu (R) said he is considering running for the Senate after previously rejecting the possibility.
“I'm not completely filtering that out, but the people in Washington asked me to think about it and consider it. According to the Washington Times.
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (DN.H.) began re-election in 2026, leaving the opening for moderate Republicans to enter what could become a competitive race in the New England swing state.
Sununu left the governor's mansion in January 2025, and has a high approval rate. He frequently defeated Trump during his time as governor, but ultimately voted for Trump in the 2024 general election after throwing his support behind medium-sized GOP primary candidate Nicky Haley.
Sununu has it I said it before He is not interested in representing his state in Washington.
Sununu said last year, according to a local news outlet.
“Politically, we'll see what happens on the road. But there's nothing that interests me when it comes to the Senate or Congress,” he added.
However, the Washington Times reported that Sununuu said Trump's focus on making the government more accountable and efficient has prompted him to reconsider.
He said, according to the Washington Times. “There's probably a road here.”
