House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo that former President Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee in 2024 during this week’s episode of Sunday Morning Futures. The longtime GOP House leader also expressed disappointment with the campaign from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, stating he is “not on the same level” as the former president.
“What’s your take on this, that as we see more indictments of Donald Trump, he seems to be gaining in terms of popularity with the public? Will he be the nominee?” Bartiromo asked.
McCarthy agreed that Trump would be the nominee in 2024, adding that he is even stronger now than he was in 2016. “I think he will be the nominee. President Trump is stronger today than he was in 2016 or 2020, and there’s a reason why,” McCarthy said. “They saw the policies of what he was able to do with America, putting America first making our economy stronger. We didn’t have inflation. We didn’t have these battles around the world. We didn’t look weak around the world.”
