Sununu Gives Update On Decision Timeline To Enter 2024 Race; Hammers Trump, Touts DeSantis

New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu said during an interview Thursday that he will make a decision about whether he is going to throw his hat in the ring for the 2024 Republican Party presidential nomination.

Sununu made the remarks during a Fox News interview on “America’s Newsroom” with co-anchors Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino. The interview was conducted right after Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis finished giving a speech in the state.

“What’s your assessment of the DeSantis campaign so far in New Hampshire, after they have spent two days in Iowa?” Perino asked.

“He understands the value of retail politics,” Sununu responded. “You saw it right there. I actually thought that was a pretty darn good speech. It’s not just about the woke stuff. It’s — he’s talking about fiscal discipline. He’s talking about doing things in Washington that folks haven’t gotten done.”

Sununu said that he is “probably going to decide” whether he will enter the 2024 Republican Party primary in the coming days and will look to “make a more public announcement in the next week.”

Sununu said that it doesn’t matter too much how many candidates decide to enter the race and that what ultimately matters is that they have the discipline to get out of the race before the Iowa caucuses if they are not polling well. “Come November, December of this year, if you’re not polling well, get your butt out of this race,” he said.

“Let’s narrow it down to a couple of candidates. That’s more fair to the process. And I think that’s going to be the discipline, not just for the candidates, but for the donor base,” he continued. “They have to tell their candidates to get out, right? And I think they will. This is not going to be [a] repeat of 2016.”

Sununu said that things change on a day-to-day basis that could factor into his decision-making about whether he will enter the race.

“Look, things change day by day,” he said. “I literally saw Donald Trump cozying up to Andrew Cuomo. I mean, Andrew Cuomo is the punchline to Republican jokes. Even Democrats don’t like Andrew Cuomo. And now Trump and Cuomo are best friends and all. And that is not the head of the Republican Party, guys. That is not a strong conservative message.”

California County Judge Robbed Right Outside Court House In Soros-Backed Prosecutor’s District

Just how dangerous are areas where a Soros-backed prosecutor serves?

Well, to put it in perspective, even county judges are getting robbed at gunpoint in the courthouse parking garages in District Attorney Pamela Price’s Alameda County.

On Thursday, Kron 4 reported that local police confirmed that three masked individuals carrying firearms mugged a judge heading into work. Per a local Fox affiliate, the victim was Judge Kevin Murphy. The individuals took his “personal belongings,” according to police. The alleged crime occurred at 8:50 a.m. local at a parking garage located right outside of the René C. Davidson Courthouse building in Alameda County.

Unfortunately for the judge, Price’s track record suggests she will go lenient on his assailants if they are ever caught.

Price, a progressive who has been supported by George Soros-funded groups in the past, has done a miserable job since coming into office earlier this year. She believes in a soft-on-crime approach, often lowering punishments for violent offenders while showing disregard for victims.

In short, Price is creating a sense of lawlessness where actual justice goes unserved. Perhaps it is no surprise then that criminals feel they can break the law — even if it is practically on the courthouse’s front steps.

Instead, Price advocates”restorative justice” — or the idea that criminals can be “restored” through community programs and other assistance. Essentially, politicians who back “restorative justice” believe that most or all crimes are committed simply because the individuals who commit them are victims of systemic racism or other oppression. So rather, than give them jail time, Price often pursues lesser charges.

If you are a victim’s family — such as the parents of 26-year-old Blake Mohs, Home Depot security guard who was killed while on duty  — then Price won’t even meet with you, much less provide specific answers as to how certain cases are unfolding. Price’s office only answered the Mohs after repeated calls and emails.

“The phone call was that Pamela Price was not going to meet with us, she was not going to have a conversation with us, and we discussed my concerns about the charges, and we were not being kept in the loop with my victim’s advocate along with the DA’s office,”  Blake’s mother Lorie Mohs said in an interview with KPIX.

Now, her son’s alleged killers are having their sentencing reduced, according to Mohs, and Price has yet to explain why.

“We should not be incarcerating them,” Price said in April of criminals. “But we should be mentoring and raising our young people and supporting them and creating restorative justice opportunities for them.”

One can only wonder what sort of “opportunities” Price will come up with for the thugs who held up the judge.
