Nearly a week before the state’s caucuses, a frenzy of campaigning belies a seemingly static G.O.P. race, with former President Donald J. Trump the prohibitive front-runner.
Gov. Chris Sununu thinks fewer Republican candidates equals Donald Trump losing the nomination. Jane Coaston interviews him about how to make that happen.
Mr. Sununu, the governor of New Hampshire, is more moderate than many members of his party and would have tested Republican voters’ appetite for a self-described “normal” candidate.
Mitch McConnell, the Senate minority leader, had previously been a vocal critic of the former president’s conduct in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
