Former President Trump is in a much stronger position to win the presidential race next year than in 2016, according to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).

“Just look at the numbers this morning—Trump is stronger today than he was in 2016,” McCarthy told Breitbart News in an interview on June 27, referring to poll results released by Morning Consult earlier on the same day.
