Former New Hampshire Sen. John Sununu Exploring Senate Bid
- Former New Hampshire Senator John Sununu is weighing a comeback bid for the U.S. Senate in 2026 after discussions with Republican leaders.
- Sununu's interest comes after Senator Jeanne Shaheen announced her retirement and following the party's unsuccessful attempt to persuade Chris Sununu to run for the seat.
- Sununu served one Senate term from 2003 to 2009, lost the 2008 election to Shaheen, and has since helped lead bipartisan election confidence efforts.
- He said he aims to gain broad support across the political spectrum, including the president, and expects primaries on both sides if he runs.
- If Sununu enters, he would likely face Democrat Chris Pappas and compete against declared Republican candidates Scott Brown and Dan Innis.
