State of the Republican Party today:

Gov. Chris Sununu of New Hampshire, who has been a vocal critic of former President Donald J. Trump, nonetheless committed on Wednesday to supporting him if he won the Republican nomination, even if he were convicted of a felony.

Mr. Sununu, a Republican who in December endorsed Nikki Haley, Mr. Trump’s rival and former United Nations ambassador, was asked by CNN whether he would hesitate to back Mr. Trump as the G.O.P. nominee should he be found guilty in any of the four criminal cases proceeding against him.

“Look, I think most of us are all going to support the Republican nominee,” Mr. Sununu said. “There’s no question.”

Mr. Sununu joins a long list of top Republicans who have resisted abandoning Mr. Trump, one that includes Ms. Haley and Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, another opponent of Mr. Trump in the narrowing G.O.P. race. At the first Republican primary debate in August, all but two of Mr. Trump’s opponents raised their hands when asked if they would support the former president should he win the nomination and be convicted.
