Republicans are courting New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu to help regain control of the Senate by taking on Democratic incumbent Maggie Hassan in 2022.
“Everyone’s just kind of wondering,” Sununu said of his decision. “And I am, too.”John Tully / for NBC News
Sununu, 46, feels less urgency and has more options. The son of a former New Hampshire governor, and the younger brother of a former senator, he has strong poll numbers and name-recognition that could fortify him against any Trump-friendly challenge from the right in a Senate primary. He could choose instead to seek a fourth consecutive two-year term as governor. Or he could return to the private sector, where he worked as an environmental engineer and ran his family’s ski resort.
Rath and others expect a decision this summer, but Sununu has said that he could wait until winter. In interviews with NBC News over a July day in the Lakes Region that began with the hike, continued with visits to small businesses and ended with a boat ride on Winnipesaukee, he sounded torn.
