Governor Chris Sununu (R-NH) said this week that former President Donald 
Trump’s criminal trial in Manhattan will not have the political ramifications 
that many of Trump’s detractors believe it will.

Sununu made the remarks during an interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC 
News’ “This Week” when asked if he would support Trump even if he was 
convicted.

“Yeah, look, this trial is not going to have major political ramifications 
that a lot of people, I think, think it may have,” he said. “And when it 
comes to these issues, people see it more as reality TV at this point. They 
really do. And so, you know, whether it’s a conviction or what that 
conviction looks like, a lot of folks, they conflate all four of these 
different trials that he’s in.”

“I don’t think it’s good that he’s going to be in the court, have to be in 
there probably three days a week, you know, for a number of weeks. That takes 
him off the campaign trail,” he continued. “He’ll probably go back on the 
campaign trail and almost, like, rehash what’s going on. He’ll try to 
victimize it. And that has worked for him, right? I mean, this has been going 
on for over a year, and his poll numbers never seem to go down because of the 
issue.”

Stephanopoulos said that he wanted Sununu to answer the question in terms of 
“right and wrong” and not through the lens of politics.

“This is about politics,” Sununu said. “That’s what people are judging this 
on. And the ultimately, you know, decision will be in November, to see where 
people are. But for months, and even over a year, we’ve heard that these are 
the things that are going to bring Donald Trump down. It’s not. And to think 
that the American public is going to be massively swayed by this, politically 
or otherwise, that’s — that’s not going to happen.”
