New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu endorsed former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley Tuesday for the GOP presidential nomination. 

“With all due respect to the other candidates, this is a two-person race at this point,” Sununu told reporters (per Semafor).

That’s a generous statement for the silent majority of anti-Trump Republicans who have heard for months that the former president is the only viable candidate in the GOP race. It might also be considered a slight toward former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, considered a close ally of fellow moderate Republican Sununu. But Christie has claimed all along that he’s running for the GOP nomination specifically to make sure Trump does not threaten American democracy by winning the election next November. 

If Haley prevails and starts winning primaries, beginning with New Hampshire next month, Christie could consider his candidacy complete.

You might be a never-Trumper conservative who, like former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), fears the authoritarianism the former president has threatened to bring to the White House if he wins next year’s election. Conversely, you might be a pro-Trump Republican who can justify, with civility and without personal attacks, Donald J. Trump’s plans for running the country, again.

In either case, we want to hear from you.
