Gov. Sununu: The ‘Vast Majority’ of Nikki Haley’s Supporters Will Vote for Trump

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
RADDATZ: “Whatever you say about that, they were escalated to some point last night. You endorsed Nikki Haley. Donald Trump hasn’t exactly extended an olive Branch to her. Does he need to reach out — instead of just that base and riling up that base, and you say they may love those kinds of things. Does he need to reach out to more moderates?”

SUNUNU: “No, not — not moderate voters politically. He needs to reach out to the swing voters who are really on the fence and those can be independents, moderate Republicans, or moderate Democrats, that union block. They’re just absolutely tired of not being able to afford to take their family to McDonald’s. So it’s not a moderate voter. It’s a swing voter which is different. In terms of the Nikki Haley voter, the vast majority of Nikki Haley voters are voting for Donald Trump. There’s no question about that. There’s maybe 3% or 4% never trumpers, the Chris Christie types I like to call them, and they’re probably not moving. They put character and that leadership style as a top priority. That’s everyone’s choice, and the other message I always have — I’ve gone back and forth with George on it, you can’t criticize Americans on priorities. For some people, they just want their family to be able to afford child care and housing and that’s their top priority. They’ll vote for change. Don’t criticize those folks for that, and my other big message is that’s the American — that’s what Americans are talking about. Maybe not those in the media or those here in government and all that, but the more we can listen to what’s happening on the ground, I think they’ll be more understanding why Kamala Harris has raised a billion dollars and isn’t winning. She’s the new candidate and isn’t winning. All these swing states right now, the polls do say that Trump probably wins. My message is just let’s listen to what’s happening on the ground, what the priorities of the Americans and especially those swing voters on different issues.”
