Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley has scored another major endorsement.
New Hampshire’s Republican governor, Chris Sununu, threw his support behind Haley and praised her as someone of whom he could be proud.
“Nikki Haley is someone who looks people in the eye, answers their questions, and most importantly, has taken the time to earn the trust of the citizens and voters in this state,” Sununu said.
Haley returned the compliment, saying, “To go and get endorsed by the live-free-or-die governor is about as rock-solid endorsement as we could hope for.”
Sununu’s endorsement could potentially sway some Republican voters as well as independents in the state’s presidential primaries. The governor told Fox News that he is fully backing Haley as they go full steam ahead with her campaign in the next six weeks.
