House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) is putting his two cents on which candidate will become the next Republican presidential nominee.
On Sunday, McCarthy predicted that former President Donald Trump would win the presidential nomination while knocking Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
“I think [Trump] will be the nominee,” McCarthy told Maria Bartiromo. “The thing is, President Trump is stronger today than he was in 2016 or 2020, and there's a reason why. They saw the policies of what he was able to do with America – putting America first, making our economy stronger.”
However, the House Speaker stopped short of officially endorsing Trump for president.
“Well it looks like Ron DeSantis is now trying to work with your colleagues who are pushing for a shutdown,” Bartiromo said.
“I don't think that would work anywhere. A shutdown would only give strength to the Democrats,” McCarthy said. “It would give the power to Biden. It wouldn't pay our troops. It wouldn't pay our border agents.”
“I actually want to achieve something, and this is where President Trump is so smart, that he was successful in this.” McCarthy continued. “President Trump is beating Biden right now in the polls. He is stronger than he has ever been in this process, and, look, I served with Ron DeSantis – he's not at the same level as President Trump by any shape or form. He would not have gotten elected without President Trump's endorsement.”
