Gov. Chris Sununu of New Hampshire said Wednesday that he will not run for reelection in 2024. The announcement comes less than two months after he opted out of a bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

Sununu is in his fourth term as governor. New Hampshire - along with neighboring Vermont - are the only two states with gubernatorial terms of two years.

The decision transforms next year's gubernatorial race into one of the most competitive in the nation. Both Sabato's Crystal Ball and The Cook Political Report quickly moved their respective ratings to toss-up.
