Former New Hampshire Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte announced a campaign for governor, entering the race to succeed popular Republican Gov. Chris Sununu in 2024.
Sununu’s surprise announcement last week that he would not seek a fifth two-year term set off what is likely to be a competitive election in the Granite State that could draw several contenders. “I’m running for governor because New Hampshire is one election away from becoming Massachusetts - from becoming something we are not,” Ayotte said in a statement.
During that election, Ayotte suffered a high-profile stumble when she attempted to walk back comments she made during a debate, calling Trump a “role model.” Initially supportive of Trump’s bid, albeit hesitantly, Ayotte ultimately said she would write-in Mike Pence on her ballot that year in the wake of the revelations from the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape.
