Kasich: I don’t see a path to beat Trump right now

Former Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) said Wednesday that he does not see a path to defeat President Trump in the 2020 Republican primary.

The now-CNN political commentator said on “Anderson Cooper 360” that while he doesn’t see a path right now, “that doesn’t mean there wouldn’t be a path down the road.”

{mosads}”But right now, I don’t see it,” he emphasized.

Kasich, who unsuccessfully ran for president in 2016, has been floated as a potential challenger to Trump’s reelection campaign.

Two major Republican candidates have entered the race so far: former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld and former Rep. Joe Walsh (Ill.).

Former South Carolina Rep. Mark Sanford (R) is also considering a possible candidacy.

Any challenger is will face long adds in a primary battle against Trump.

The president enjoys strong approval ratings within his party and the Republican National Committee has already voted to express its “undivided support” for Trump as its 2020 nominee.
