According to Mick Mulvaney, Trump is the only mainstream Republican who could beat Biden.
The GOP doesn't need Trump, according to the former chief of staff.
The committee findings damaged Trump, according to Mulvaney.
Donald Trump is the only mainstream Republican who could lose in a presidential race against Joe Biden, according to Mick Mulvaney.
On Tuesday, Mulvaney name-checked a number of high-profile Republicans who he said have a better chance at winning.
The same policies, the same energy, the same defense of the middle class that Donald Trump gave us, could be given by those people.
In March 2020 Mulvaney became the special envoy to Northern Ireland. He left that role after the riot.
If the election were today, he said, there's probably only one mainstream Republican who could lose, and that's Donald Trump.
More than half of GOP voters would not support Trump again in four years, according to recent polling by The New York Times.
He told CNN earlier this month that he didn't want to support Trump.
He suggested that the bipartisan investigation is politically motivated, based on the revelations of the January 6 committee.
He said he didn't know if they wanted to accomplish that. I believe that they wanted to wound him politically.
Mulvaney told reporters to "get over it" after he said Trump offered aid toUkraine if the country investigated Democrats. Mulvaney returned the claim.
The Democrats tried to impeach Trump because of the call between him and Zelenskyy.
Since the riot at the Capitol, Mulvaney has walked an uneasy path, defending the January 6 committee in an op-ed and responding to right-wing criticism of former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson.
