General Bolduc regrets his negative remarks about Gov. Sununu. “The communist sympathizer comment was a bit of an exaggeration...I probably went too far there. I have reached out to the Governor…to come together to do the right thing for the Republican Party.”
In an interview with WGIR’s Chris Ryan, retired Brigadier General Don Bolduc, who is a candidate for the US Senate, dismisses his opponents in the Republican primary who will run against Senator Maggie Hassan as career politicians; admits that he went too far when he called Governor Sununu a communist sympathizer; discusses the financial issues of his campaign and the possibility of a Trump endorsement; focuses on what he thinks will be the key issues in the election; calls for a reversal of the Biden policies which have been supported by Senator Hassan; and asserts that he will be an independent voice for change and an advocate for his constituents, the people of New Hampshire.
General Bolduc has been on the campaign trail for about a year. He considers his recently arrived Republican Primary opponents--Kevin Smith, the former Londonderry Town Manager, and Chuck Morse, the President of the New Hampshire Senate to be career politicians.
The General believes that, as an outsider, he has the best chance to defeat a career politician like Maggie Hassan and to effect the changes which are needed in Washington.
When Governor Sununu withdrew from the 2022 Senate race, Don Bolduc claimed that it was because he had exposed that the Sununu family had a globalist agenda with investments in China and Saudi Arabia. Bolduc went so far as to say that Chris Sununu was a communist sympathizer.
If General Bolduc should win the Republican Primary, he and Governor Sununu would be on the same ticket. Don Bolduc admits that he went too far when he called the Governor a communist sympathizer and made a call for party unity.
So far, the Bolduc Campaign has had good poll numbers and shown grass root support. However, fund raising has been a concern. General Bolduc is optimistic that support from President Trump is a possibility and that he has enough in his campaign coffers to get through the primary.
General Bolduc believes that Republicans, President Trump included, should not dwell on the 2020 election or January 6. Instead, they should be focused on solving the present-day issues of crime, inflation, supply chain problems, and the border.
In order to solve these problems, Don Bolduc calls for a reversal of many of President Biden’s policies and a return to many of the Trump policies which secured the border and provided energy independence.
In the last portion of the interview, Don Bolduc reasserts his claim to be an outsider who will go to Washington to fix a broken system and to do what is best for the Granite State, not a vested interest or his party.
“We basically have 535 people who are more focused on party politics, divisiveness, pointing their fingers at each other, and less concerned about helping the American people, and, in particular, the people that they are down there to serve, the people from their state.”
