Former House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., said he does not expect former President Donald Trump to win the Republican nomination for the presidency in 2024.
Ryan, the 2012 GOP vice presidential candidate, made the comments during a discussion with Teneo, a global company that advises CEOs, for the company’s “Insight Series.” Ryan is the vice chairman of Teneo.
“I think Trumpâs un-electability will be palpable by then,” Ryan said. “We all know he will lose, or let me put it this way: we all know heâs much more likely to lose the White House than anybody else running for president on our side of the aisle. So why would we want to go with that?”
The former congressman explained that the only reason Trump “stays where he is, is because everybody is afraid of him,” referring to Republicans. “Theyâre afraid of him going after them, hurting their own ambition.”
