During an interview on CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Tuesday, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy expressed uncertainty about whether former President Donald Trump would be the strongest Republican candidate for the upcoming presidential election. When asked about Trump's potential to win the election, McCarthy admitted, "I'm not quite certain about that." However, he did acknowledge that there was a chance of Trump successfully challenging the current president.
Regarding President Biden, McCarthy affirmed that he is theoretically beatable by any opponent. He stated, "Biden can without a doubt be defeated. It's an occurrence that happens every day."
Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Former Vice President Mike Pence, Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, and a long list of other candidates are among those who McCarthy has not formally endorsed.
McCarthy, on the other hand, has close ties to the former president and Trump supported him during the contentious race for the speaker's gavel earlier this year.
According to the RealClearPolitics polling average, Trump is currently the undisputed front-runner in the Republican primary, with 52.1% of Republicans supporting him for the nomination.
