Former House Speaker Paul Ryan is offering President Trump unsolicited advice for 2020: Don’t make the race about yourself.
“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 Monday during a speech in Vero Beach, Fla.
Ryan said there are some Democrats he believes can beat Trump in the 2020 presidential election, though he did not say who those Democrats are, according to the TCPalm.
The Wisconsin Republican retired from Congress in 2018. He had a contentious relationship with Trump during the 2016 presidential election, but he largely withheld criticism of the president in the last two years in hopes of passing his top legislative priorities, including tax cuts.
At least 14 Democrats have already declared they are running to be the party’s nominee. A few more, including former Vice President Joe Biden, are expected to enter the race in the coming weeks.
