"Christie Clashes with Sununu, Defends 2024 Bid Amid Haley-Trump Turmoil"

Chris Sununu, New Hampshire's governor, is urging Chris Christie to exit the Republican presidential race to clear the path for Nikki Haley to challenge Donald Trump. Christie criticizes Haley for avoiding tough truths, such as her evasive response to a question about the Civil War's cause. Sununu argues that Haley's ability to attract Trump-sympathetic voters without alienating them gives her a better chance against Trump in the primaries. Polls show Haley's favorability among likely Republican voters is higher than Christie's, particularly among MAGA supporters. Christie remains firm in his position, emphasizing the need for honesty in leadership, while Sununu's stance suggests a willingness to compromise on truth for political unity and success within the GOP.
