前参议员约翰·桑努努周二在新罕布什尔州共和党参议院初选中击败斯科特·布朗，获得党派提名1。现年61岁的桑努努曾于2003年至2009年担任参议员1，这一胜利将使他有机会在秋季大选中与民主党众议员克里斯·帕帕斯竞争1。
桑努努的提名具有特殊意义，因为特朗普今年早前支持了这位在多个政策议题上与自己产生分歧的候选人1。桑努努曾在2024年专栏文章中批评特朗普为"失败者"，并支持尼基·海利参加总统竞选1。此外，他还对特朗普的关税政策提出批评，呼吁国会限制行政权力，并质疑对伊朗采取军事行动1。
这场参议院竞争对民主党争夺参议院多数席位至关重要1。值得注意的是，新罕布什尔州自2010年以来未在参议院选举中赢得共和党席位1，而在该州，特朗普的支持率仅为38%1。
Former Senator John Sununu secured the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in New Hampshire on Tuesday, defeating Scott Brown in the primary election 1. The 61-year-old Sununu, who previously served as a senator from 2003 to 2009, received an endorsement from Donald Trump earlier this year despite his own past criticism of the former president 1.
Sununu's victory came despite significant ideological friction with Trump. In a 2024 column, Sununu called Trump a "loser" and backed Nikki Haley as an alternative candidate 1. He has also criticized Trump's tariff policies, urged Congress to restrict executive power, and questioned military action against Iran 1. Trump's support in New Hampshire stands at 38 percent 1.
Sununu will face Democratic Representative Chris Pappas in the general election, a matchup considered crucial for Democratic efforts to maintain Senate control 1. The contest takes on added significance given that New Hampshire has not elected a Republican to the Senate since 2010 1.
