Gov. Chris Sununu of New Hampshire holds a coronavirus pandemic briefing There’s plenty of speculation that Sununu, who was overwhelming reelected in November to a third two-year term as Granite State governor, may challenge Hassan in 2022 rather than run for reelection as governor. Sununu’s once dismissive talk of a Senate bid appears to be moderating. "It’s something that I’m considering," the governor said last week in a radio interview on "Good Morning New Hampshire," about a possible 2022 Senate run. He added that he’s "definitely open to it." Sununu, the son of former Gov. John H. Sununu and younger brother to former Sen. John E. Sununu, remains very popular in New Hampshire. The survey indicates his approval rating as governor stands at 72%, with a 55%-19% favorable/unfavorable rating. Hassan’s favorable/unfavorable rating in the new poll stands at 42%-38%.
