CNN —Advisers and allies to former President Donald Trump are expressing outrage after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said that he thinks Trump can win in 2024, but does not know if he is the “strongest” candidate. “I’ve been fielding calls on this since it happened,” one Trump ally told CNN, referring to McCarthy’s comments. “The question is, is he the strongest to win the election – I don’t know that answer.”The Speaker also said he believes Trump can beat President Joe Biden. I think if you want to go sheer policy to policy, it’s not good for Republicans, its good for America. Trump’s policies are better, straightforward than Biden policy,” McCarthy said.
