DeSantis meets with N.H. governor ahead of presidential launch
NBC News ^ | May 19, 2023, 1:02 PM PDT | Julia Jester and Vaughn Hillyard

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis met with New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu in the first primary state Friday afternoon in Concord, Sununu's office confirmed.

“Governor Sununu is ready and willing to meet with all potential candidates who come to New Hampshire, and was happy to meet with Governor DeSantis for an hour today at his office in the State House, where they discussed a wide range of issues, including how to do well in the New Hampshire primary," Sununu spokesman Ben Vihstadt told NBC News in a statement.

It wasn't Sununu's only 2024-related meeting of the day: According to a person familiar with the meeting, Sununu also spent time with former Rep. Will Hurd, R-Texas, who is eyeing his own possible presidential bid.

Sununu has previously met with former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley and former Vice President Mike Pence, according to two people familiar with those meetings.

The one-on-ones come as DeSantis is set to announce his presidential campaign next week — and as Sununu mulls his own potential run for president. The governor, who was elected to a fourth two-year term in 2022, has said any realistic 2024 contender must jump into the race by July 4.

That's not the most impressive start.

One by one these deep state clowns will drop out to support DeSantis but it’s not going to work. You can’t stop God’s plan.

Although Desantis thinks he is some kind of God(see his governor campaign ad), it will soon become apparent that God’s hand is still on President Trump and nothing the deep state DeSantians can do will stop it.

Chris Sunnunu! Of all the Lindsey McRomBush RINOs he could have consulted! That puts the cherry on top of his political sundae for me. How could he turn out to be such a disappointment?!

“Governor Sununu is ready and willing to meet with all potential candidates who come to New Hampshire”

Except he was not at the Trump town hall a couple weeks ago.

Battle lines are drawn. Once again it’s the insider entrenched establishment Republican party posers VS Trump the outsider.

Of course, Trump has no brain of his own and is forced by all the bad people to endorse bad people....or hire them.

Gotcha.

You're dumber than spit. Trump HAD no control over many of his cabinet choice. He couldn't pick his own AG, FBI or CIA director.

The phony Russian collusion charges gave the establishment leverage over his foreign policy advisors.

But, you seem to think the rest of us have forgotten all that.

Right. All good things come from Trump. All bad things come from what people told/forced Trump to do.

Keep telling yourself this.

You’re missing the point of these lingering Trump supporters. He is too gullible and apparently incompetent to pick people, so he’s had to rely on the swamp, got the wrong people, it’s all their fault. Can never be Trump’s fault.

The GOP Establishment’s true colors didn’t come out until Trump declared his candidacy in 2015.

We were all fooled. Me included.
