John E. Sununu pushed back this week against a recent suggestion by his brother, former state Gov. Chris Sununu, concerning the New Hampshire Senate race, according to The Hill's report. The outlet's report, written by Sarah Davis, said the disagreement centered on a hypothetical election scenario.
The Hill reported that Chris Sununu made the remark in an interview with CNN. According to the summary of that report, he said the New Hampshire Senate nominee would be "up by 30 points" if voters believed it was him on the ballot. The summary does not make clear whether the word "him" refers to the nominee or to Chris Sununu himself, so the exact meaning of the hypothetical cannot be confirmed from the available text.
According to The Hill's headline, John Sununu's response was that his brother was wrong about the hypothetical. The available summary does not include John Sununu's full reasoning or any further detail of what he said, so this account is limited to the headline and the opening of the report.
The Hill's summary identifies the Democratic nominee in the race as a representative, but the name is cut off in the text available to this writer, so the nominee is not named here. The summary also does not say whether the Democratic nominee or the campaign has responded to the exchange between the brothers.
The Hill's report was the only source used for this story. It carries a publication timestamp of October 28, 2026. Full article text was not available, so details beyond those reported here could not be verified.
