Chris Sununu said Monday that he will not seek the presidency in 2024, arguing that Republican candidates with "no path to victory must have the courage to get out" of their party’s increasingly crowded primary to stop former President Donald Trump.The 48-year-old governor, who has emerged as a frequent Trump critic, made the announcement on CNN and followed up with a social media post and an op-ed in the Washington Post."I will not seek the Republican nomination for president in 2024," Sununu tweeted. "The stakes are too high for a crowded field to hand the nomination to a candidate who earns just 35 percent of the vote, and I will help to ensure this does not happen."RELATED: Who is running for president in 2024?

Even with his decision, the 2024 GOP White House field will be large.Historian and Hoover Institution senior fellow Niall Ferguson argued that former President Donald Trump is not only a strong candidate for reelection in 2024, but the most likely person to win and take back the White House.Earlier Monday, former Vice President Mike Pence filed paperwork declaring his campaign for president.
