President Donald Trump has announced his support for John Sununu, a former Republican senator from New Hampshire who had previously been critical of Trump, in the high-stakes Senate election that could determine control of the upper chamber. The endorsement boosts Sununu's chances as he competes with Scott Brown, another Republican candidate, to replace Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen, who is retiring at the end of this year.
Sununu, a seasoned politician with a family legacy in New Hampshire politics, has been praised by Trump as an "America First Patriot" and "will work tirelessly to advance our America First Agenda." Trump's endorsement comes ahead of the primary election, which is expected to take place in September. Sununu has a polling advantage over Brown, as well as significant fundraising lead.
In contrast, Brown, who had previously been endorsed by Trump himself during his 2016 presidential campaign, emphasized that he would work for a strong economy, secure borders, reliable energy, and better healthcare for veterans. He also pointed out that the Senate Leadership Fund, which backs Republican candidates, has given Sununu its backing.
While some on the MAGA side rejected Trump's endorsement of Sununu as "slap in the face to grassroots supporters," the move is seen by top Senate Republicans as crucial in flipping the New Hampshire seat and potentially altering control of the Senate majority.

? Trump just gives his seal of approval to John Sununu, some dude who used to trash him publicly? Like, what's next? Trump endorsing someone for a role in the Avengers or something 
? I guess that's what happens when you're no longer the "top guy" 
. Anyway, Sununu thinks he can just waltz back into politics and suddenly becomes an America First Patriot? Give me a break 
. And let's be real, this endorsement is probably more about Trump trying to boost his own credentials than anything else 
. I mean, who needs grassroots support when you've got a Twitter shoutout from the king himself? 
, the guy who had a falling out with him like 2 years ago! what's up with that? is this supposed to be some kind of masterstroke or just a desperate attempt to sway voters? and btw, a "family legacy in new hampshire politics"? sounds like trump trying too hard to get brownie points 
Trump endorsing Sununu seems like a huge mistake to me... 
I mean, Sununu was totally trashing Trump just last year! 
But at the same time, I guess if Trump is backing him, Brown might not stand a chance... 
It's like, Sununu's got some good stuff going for him with that polling lead and all, but does anyone really trust his motives? 
It's like he's trying to send a message or something... 
Ugh, I'm so confused now... 
. And we're all just along for the ride 
.
. But can't help but wonder if this whole thing was worth it in the end 
. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out in the primary election and beyond. On one hand, I get why Trump wanted to get behind Sununu - he's a seasoned pro with a strong NH legacy 
. On the other hand, I'm still a bit skeptical about whether Sununu will actually toe the Trump line when it counts 
meanwhile, the senate leadership fund is basically running these elections, it's wild how much influence they have 
. Anyways, this endorsement is gonna be a game-changer for whoever wins the Senate seat - either Sununu or Brown 
. Can't wait to see how Trump's "America First Agenda" plays out in practice, lol. Has anyone else noticed how Trump's endorsements usually seem to backfire on him?
, and I gotta say, it's a game changer for Sununu! His "America First Patriot" credentials are straight fire 
️
. But what I'm really curious about is how this will play out in the primary election 
! And btw, who do you guys think has the best shot at winning the seat 
Brown's got his own agenda, I'm sure he'll do just fine on his own. 
And honestly, I think Trump's endorsement of Sununu is more about making a point and securing that Senate seat for the GOP rather than being all about loyalty... it's politics, folks! 
! On one hand, Sununu's got some serious baggage going into this election - has he really changed his tune? 
but at what cost?? trumps endorsement is basically a slap in the face to all his grassroots supporters who think trump is all about them...
