Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH) placed blame for a series of recent special election defeats for his party on former President Donald Trump.
Sununu, the fourth-term Republican governor who has forcefully come out against the former president's campaign for a second stint in the White House, argued during a Sunday morning interview on Meet the Press that Trump is the reason the GOP has performed worse than anticipated in a series of recent special elections since the last presidential election.“It’s about the former president more than anything," he said.
There have been 38 special elections as of early last month, in which Democrats have outperformed the partisan lean of the areas where the races were held by an average of 10%, according to analysis from FiveThirtyEight. It has resulted in Democratic blowouts in areas that lean blue and closer races in areas typically more conservative.
