Governor of New Hampshire and vocal Trump critic Chris Sununu (R) wants a Republican in the White House so badly that he claimed he’s willing to vote for the former president over Joe Biden, even though he has called Trump “fucking crazy,” and a “three-time loser.”

In a recent podcast interview, Puck’s Tara Palmeri asked Sununu, “If it comes down to Trump or Biden, which it most likely will, you’re going to vote for Trump then?”

Sununu replied simply, “I’m a Republican.”

He then left the door open for an alternative to Trump, claiming,  “it’s not an absolute” that the former president will be the Republican nominee.

“If you get to Super Tuesday and Trump runs the table, it’s over,” Sununu conceded. “But if you get to Super Tuesday and [Nikki] Haley or an alternative candidate is winning three or four states, then the whole paradigm changes. Now it becomes a one-on-one race.”

He continued:

Let’s say Ron DeSantis is the one, or Chris Christie is the one who [breaks] out by Super Tuesday. Trump can have his 40 percent. Someone else will have 60,” Sununu said. “Trump has a ceiling. He has a floor, but he also has a ceiling — one that is fairly low for a former president.

If it becomes a one-on-one race, now he’s in trouble.

Sununu said that so far, no other candidate has “done a great job with a ground game here, knocking on doors, phones. That really does still work.” He added, “I think you could see a significant movement in numbers for anyone who drops that ground game here in the next six weeks.”

When asked whom he will endorse, Sununu said he’ll make his public declaration “in the next couple of weeks.”

If the GOP nominee ends up being Trump, which Sununu said was “more likely than not,”Sununu predicted a Republican win in 2024.

“Biden has become so bad, even Trump can beat him,” he said.
