Sununu has not endorsed anyone for for GOP Presidential primary yet, but has been highly critical of former President Trump. Sununu ruled out a run for President himself earlier this summer while making a dig at the former President.
"I will not seek the Republican nomination for president in 2024," posted Sununu on X. "The stakes are too high for a crowded field to hand the nomination to a candidate who earns just 35 percent of the vote, and I will help ensure this does not happen."

Sununu posted the same photo of him and DeSantis next to the Never Back Down PAC campaign bus in New Hampshire.
"Handshake by handshake, person by person. That's how you win the First in the Nation Presidential Primary," posted Sununu.

Good to see @RonDeSantis doing it the New Hampshire way at the Londonderry Old Home Day Parade. Two of the best governors in the country hanging in Londonderry! pic.twitter.com/KrFmTKWLWI

Sununu has also posted recent photos of him with candidates Chris Christie, Nikki Haley and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, introducing them at events, but DeSantis is the first to hit the campaign trail with Sununu.
"As a former governor, my good friend @ChrisChristie knows how to get things done. During his time as Chair of @GOPGovs, he helped elect GOP Governors across the country. Few appreciate the NH presidential primary more than Chris. Great to introduce him at a town hall in Salem!" posted Sununu.

"Politics, pie, and the cherry on top — @FrancisSuarez! 🥧
Fun night introducing the Mayor at the Concord City Republican Committee’s Politics and Pie series. A must-stop (and tasty 🤣) event for all the GOP candidates," posted Sununu on August 17.
