New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu says he will not seek the presidency in 2024. The 48-year-old Republican governor, a frequent critic of former President Donald Trump, made the announcement on Monday in an interview with CNN. In a social media post, he wrote: “The stakes are too high for a crowded field to hand the nomination to a candidate who earns just 35 percent of the vote, and I will help to ensure this does not happen.” Sununu was among a small group of Republican officials still openly contemplating a presidential bid. Even with his decision, the 2024 Republican presidential primary field will feature nearly a dozen candidates.
