“So, listen, if statistically she has next to no chance of winning the nomination, why does she continue to do things that help President Biden overall?” Bream asked.
Sununu pushed back against Bream's comments, saying it was “nonsense” that Haley had no chance of winning the nomination. He said that not only is it “fair game” to criticize other candidates “as they are,” but that Trump is “not free riding” on the position.
“First of all, the chances of her getting the nomination are non-zero. That in itself is nonsense. This is the primary, and everything always ends up missing. If you go back to 2016, everyone was attacking Trump etc. – it was expanded and this is the same [context]”You can't attack the front-runner because it could be used by Democrats,” Sununu said.
“This is about winning the nomination at this point, fighting and calling out the candidates as they are. And letting people know who they're actually voting for when they vote for someone. What is the rhetoric that is out there? Where are these policies going? It's all completely fair game and put on the table for people to make choices. He should.

We did, right? So we want a Republican Party that can deliver results for America, not just talk the talk,” Sununu said.

As the Feb. 24 Republican primary in South Carolina approaches, polls appear to show Trump leading the state's former governor by nearly 35 points. according to Go to CBS News.
