Former Attorney General Bill Barr said Sunday that former President Trump is the GOP presidential candidate “most likely” to lose to President Biden in a hypothetical 2024 matchup.
Barr discussed the charges facing Trump in a New York City hush money case while appearing on ABC’s “This Week.” He said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) was being opaque about the case, which likely means its weak.
But he said that might be good news for Democrats and Biden, assuming the president runs for reelection.
“Ultimately, the savvy Democratic strategists know this is going to help Trump, and they want him to be the nominee because he is the weakest of the Republican candidates, the most likely to lose again to Biden,” Barr said of Bragg’s case.
Trump became the first U.S. president — current or former — to be hit with criminal charges, and pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. He has since fundraised off the indictment and a fake mugshot amid his arraignment.
