Former House Speaker Paul Ryan warned that presumptive 2024 GOP nominee Donald Trump’s candidacy will negatively impact down-ballot Republican candidates in suburban areas where many voters dislike Trump.
Ryan suggested the party would lose more seats than otherwise and that former hopeful Nikki Haley would have been a more unifying presidential choice.
“I think we’re going to lose more seats than we otherwise would with Trump because there are just too many suburban swing voters that just don’t like him, that therefore vote against Republicans,” former House Speaker Paul Ryan said.
He disagreed with Trump’s nationalist populism being the focus of most Republicans currently and characterized the GOP as a cult of personality around Trump rather than grounded in principles.
Ryan was a past critic of Trump before his 2016 election win and worked with him as House speaker, including on tax cuts, before retiring from Congress in 2018.
