Fox News host Neil Cavuto pressed anti-Trump Republican Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH) about polls exhibiting many Republicans who strengthen Nikki Haley will vote for President Joe Biden if former President Donald Trump wins the GOP nomination.
Monday marks the first nominating contest in the Republican presidential major, the influential (if not representative) Iowa caucuses. One subplot of the early coverage has been polling that presentations large numbers of Haley supporters — via 2 to 1 — announcing they’ll vote for Biden over Trump.
On Monday’s version of Fox Information Channel’s Your World with Neil Cavuto, Cavuto asked Sununu about that uncomfortable stat — and lower in to get him back heading in the right direction when he tried to speak his means around answering:
SUNUNU: In the event you’re sitting on the couch watching this, for those who’re a Republican that’s annoyed with Donald Trump, exit and caucus for Nikki Haley. If you happen to’re this type of those that say that Trump is the end of democracy, neatly, then take part within the democratic process and go — go caucus for Nikki Haley. Make it one thing you could — that you would be able to effect the exchange on.
And, in Iowa, almost any one can do it. In New Hampshire, it’s Republicans and undeclareds. So I think you’re going to see an extraordinarily high turnout both in Iowa and New Hampshire for both the caucus and the main.
CAVUTO: Does it disturb you, as a Republican, though, Governor, Nikki Haley supporters — and I bought proof of that today in a diner talking to a lot of them — are more inclined to make stronger a Democrat than they might Donald Trump if it came all the way down to a general election and he have been the nominee?
What do you think of that?
SUNUNU: Yes, seem to be, Joe Biden has simply overwhelmed the usa, as a result of he’s no longer even managing anything. It’s no longer even — it’s — I imply, that you must more or less blame him, but it surely’s these unnamed staffers, it’s the bureaucrats which might be crushing the u . s . with inflation, laws, lack of administration, all this wokism. It’s awful. It’s absolutely awful.
So, again, one of the simplest ways to hedge towards that’s to more or less move us ahead with that new technology of leadership, getting at the back of Nikki Haley, driving forward on a win. But, yes, seem…
CAVUTO: No, but — I’m sorry, Governor. I wasn’t clear. What they’re announcing — however, Governor, Governor, what they’re announcing is, they’d make stronger that Democrat, they would toughen Joe Biden if push got here to shove and it was once a choice between the president and the closing president.
SUNUNU: Sure, that’s troubling.
(LAUGHTER)
SUNUNU: Yes, there’s undoubtedly that that’s troubling, because what vine has executed to this us of a is so unhealthy.
There will probably be time to, once more, impress the Republican Birthday Celebration together after the principle. That at all times occurs, despite who the candidate is.
CAVUTO: Yes.
SUNUNU: I feel it’s going to be Nikki. I feel she’s got a shot.
But, no, this usa desires an important turn far from Joe Biden, for sure.
