chris sununu made it very clear. most fascinating part of yesterday's surprise announcement. he does have national ambitions. i don't know if he's going to run for president. he's not rejecting washington. he's rejecting the senate and serving in the senate. so, his bet is that the way you advance in american politics in say four or eight years is to not be in the senate, which, of course, has been the path and the entire incentive system to how you raise low dollar fund-raiing and national name recognition is to do that. he is making the opposite bet for the future of the american party. >> it's still a pretty good bet historically until barack obama not a single sitting u.s. senator in my lifetime that had made it to the presidency. so it's still a pretty good bet. pretty quickly, james, this doesn't make maggie hassen less vulnerable. but is it because the primary can get so trumpy in new hampshire that the best general election candidates don't want to do this? >> that's exactly it, trump is a factor. two things

sununu was going to take on mag gee next year. and the next best recruit former u.s.ly also declined to run. in his remarks today, sununu didn't hold back saying he'd much rather remain in new hampshire than enter the toxic environment that is congress these days. take a listen. >> a dozen key decisions in a day as a governor it can have an incredibly direct and positive impact on individuals' lives. not so much so in the senate. it's a much slower pace and frankly too often doing nothing is considered a win. my responsibility is not to the gridlock and politics of washington, it's to the citizens of new hampshire and i'd rather push myself 120 miles an hour delivering news for new hampshire than to slow down and end up on capitol hill debating partisan politics without results. that's why i'm going to run for a fourth term. >> it's not hard to connect sununu's decision to president trump's politics. he would have had a harder time getting out of the primary perhaps than the general and while he supported trump's 2020 run, sununu's pushed back. they hoped it would sho

your colleague, jessica taylor, on political report website, sununu's decision not to run for new hampshire senate gives democrats a brief reprieve. guest: this is a welcome development for democrats, the most popular figure in new hampshire politics is not going to be running against democrat maggie hassan. but it's not in and of itself going to change the overall picture in the senate, which is that republicans still have a lot of opportunities. in this political environment, given what we saw in new jersey and virginia, republicans would be poised to reclaim the majority. they have got a lot of more purple states to compete in rather than virginia and new jersey, which are quite blue. arizona, georgia, nevada. even new hampshire could still be on the table. host: bob in logan, utah, democratic caller. caller: good morning, david. i'd like to say that i listen to morning joe and liz cheney was on. she hit the nail on the head. she said that she's very proud to be a republican. but she's more proud to be american. i wore a uniform. and i never felt more patriotic. and when the towers come

sununu has been elected governor in the last three elections held every two years there and his brother was elected senator and his father was elected governor in the 1980's. maggie hassen was elected governor in 2012 and 2014. so the fact she's behind in some surveys now is not a good sign for the democrats. it indicates to me that you're looking at a seriously contested race from two candidates who are well known and may have had positive impressions over the years. but not clear which one will do so. so i think that we've got a very indeterminate outcome here and we know small margins for multiple candidates can give one party or another a much bigger advantage in the senate than almost anyone expected. remember when the republicans gained 12 seats in 1980 and won a majority in the senate? you had a lot of astonished faces in washington. and when those seats came up six years later and despite president reagan's positive job rating, democrats gained 78 of those seats and used their majorities to harass reagan on iran-contra and pushed his successor george h.w. bush to break his "read
