New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, left, and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
  • Chris Sununu told WaPo that Christie was "absolutely obsessed with being president."
  • But Sununu said Christie's 2024 campaign had a limited message, forcing him to drop out.
  • The NH governor is now backing Nikki Haley and campaigning with her statewide.

Before New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu threw his support behind Nikki Haley's presidential campaign, his endorsement in the critical early-voting state was highly coveted by a slew of GOP contenders.

Sununu, a Republican who has served as governor since 2017, made it clear he was looking to move on from former President Donald Trump as he spent time with the GOP candidates.
