New Hampshire Governor Sununu: Kamala Harris’ ‘Honeymoon’ Phase Going To End Real Quick

New Hampshire Republican Governor Chris Sununu said on Sunday that the bump in the polls that Democrats have enjoyed in recent days after Vice President Kamala Harris effectively secured the party’s presidential nomination will soon come to an end.

Sununu made the remarks during an interview on ABC News’s “This Week” while discussing the fallout from President Joe Biden ending his re-election campaign.

“This is the honeymoon,” Sununu said. “I mean, this is the honeymoon period. [Democrats] had the — if you will, the courage to push him off of the ballot. Vice President Harris is in there. The media is fawning. Everyone’s excited.”

“It’s a whole new race. That’s all very true. And that’s going to last for about 30 days. There’s no question. I think the Democrats can take that momentum into the convention,” he continued. “The first poll, I believe, that will actually matter, if I may, is the Wednesday after Labor Day. So, you’re going to have this 30-day honeymoon period. Things will settle. Folks will get back, talk to their family and friends, come off a summer vacation, put their kids in school, all that sort of stuff.”

He said once people get back into the swing of their normal lives they will start to think about what the change in the race means and how this election will impact them.

“And you’re going to get back to numbers you saw about a month before the original debates, which is essentially a neck in neck race, or at least within the margin of error. Probably Trump up by a little bit nationally. Some of the swing states all in play. And it’s going to come back to issues,” he said. “The border issue, the inflation issue, these are some very real issues. It isn’t just going to be about, well, we need to vote for Vice President Harris because she’s a woman or she — we need to vote for her because it’s just a change and it’s not Donald Trump.”

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
