New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu said over the weekend that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump can beat Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris if he simply sticks to the issues that matter most to voters instead of focusing on personal attacks.

Sununu, who has at times been critical of the former president, made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” when asked about the current state of the election.

“The message is very clear. If you stick to the issues, if you stick to what matters, this should be an easy race for Donald Trump,” he said. “It really should. The delta that you’re seeing right now is, Trump does better with males by about 10 points. But where this giant shift in August has come is with the female voter. Frank Luntz pointed this out in his polling. He’s down 10, 12 points at least, with females. And they’re going to come out in much bigger numbers than they previously would have if Biden were the candidate.”

“If you talk about these economic issues, if you remind folks that he’s running against the most liberal and most unpopular vice president in history that has now laid out the worst economic plan ever laid out by a Democrat candidate — even Obama’s team is panning this as a disaster for America,” he continued. “So she then picked her own vice presidential candidate, which is also one of the most liberal, progressive governors in the country that has huge issues in terms of supporting public safety. All of these things are lining up for a huge Republican win.”
