Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) expressed on July 3 that she is unsure whether any of the Democratic presidential candidates have the ability to defeat President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.

Omar made her remarks during an appearance on BET Digital’s #BlackCoffeeLive. She was asked by one of the show’s hosts, Marc Lamont Hill, whether she had thought about endorsing any of the candidates yet.

“You mentioned Cory Book and Kamala Harris with regard to a bill. You did something with Bernie Sanders. You may not know this, but they’re all running for president. Where are you leaning these days? Have you thought about endorsing?” Hill asked the freshman congresswoman.
