Sununu Critiques Trump's 'Victim Card' Tactics and Ballot Strategies

New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu criticized efforts to disqualify former President Donald Trump from the 2024 GOP primary ballots, suggesting it would enable Trump to further utilize his "victim card" strategy.

The Maine Secretary of State had previously ruled Trump ineligible based on the 14th Amendment due to his actions related to the Capitol riot, a decision that is being legally contested.
