Former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan said he believes there are some Democrats who could defeat President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election.
Ryan, in one of his first public appearances after retiring from Congress, weighed in on Trump’s chances and reflected on his tenure in Congress during a Monday lecture in Vero Beach, Florida.
“The person who defines that race is going to win the race. If this is about Donald Trump and his personality, he isn’t going to win it,” Ryan said.
Ryan, who served as Speaker of the House from 2015 until January and was the 2012 Republican nominee for vice president, focused heavily on policy during the hour-long lecture and question-and-answer session.
