New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) fired back at Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) following his anti-endorsement of GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Friday.
Sununu endorsed Haley last month and she has seen a steady rise in her poll numbers in the crucial early primary state since then.
On Friday, Paul said he would “absolutely dead certain Nikki Haley would be wrong for our country.” The senator also launched a ‘Never Nikki’ website explaining why he will never support the former UN ambassador.
In an interview on Newsmax, Sununu was asked what Paul’s anti-endorsement means for the Haley campaign.
“What does Rand Paul mean? Nothing,” Sununu said. “I’m sorry, but nobody cares what Rand Paul thinks in this race. This race is in Iowa and New Hampshire, it’s in South Carolina. She’s the only candidate that’s surging.”
“Maybe when the U.S. Senate actually starts doing something and actually starts delivering some results, they can stand on a soapbox and think that their words matter,” he added. “But until then, sorry, Rand Paul. nobody cares.”
