Former House Speaker Paul Ryan said Wednesday he believes the 2024 Republican presidential nominee will "for sure" be able to unseat President Joe Biden — unless that person is former President Donald Trump.
"It's a disaster if we nominate Trump," Ryan, who also serves on the board of Fox News' parent company, told CNBC's "Squawk Box."
Cheney is right that Trump "could win," Ryan said, but "I think we lose with him."
"I think we're much more likely to lose — we haven't won anything with him since he first won in '16," Ryan said of Trump.
"I'm for anybody not named Trump," he added, "because I think we beat Biden for sure if we nominate a Republican not named Trump."
