This morning Speaker Kevin McCarthy was asked on CNBC about whether Trump can beat Biden in the general election.

But McCarthy said something that I’m pretty sure Trump will not like:

Here’s more from CNBC:

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said Tuesday he does not know if former President Donald Trump is the “strongest” Republican candidate to compete against President Joe Biden in 2024.

“Can he win that election? Yeah he can,” McCarthy said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “The question is, is he the strongest to win the election?”

“I don’t know that answer,” McCarthy said.

“But can anybody beat Biden? Yeah, anybody can beat Biden. Can Biden beat other people? Yes, Biden can beat them. It’s on any given day,” he added.

When McCarthy said “..is he the strongest to win the election? I don’t know that answer,” the context of all of this is all the legal trials that Trump would be dealing with as president. McCarthy made clear that Trump’s policy would be much better for this country than Biden.

But for McCarthy to question whether Trump is the strongest Republican candidate we have to win the election, well that effectively makes him a traitor to Trump and I’m sure Trump will be bashing Speaker McCarthy soon if he hasn’t already.
