Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci on Thursday told Hill.TV that he would wait to see how the Republican primary plays out, but said he would work to defeat President Trump if he becomes the Republican nominee in 2020.
“I’m not going to rule anything out,” Scaramucci said when asked whether he would support a Democrat in the 2020 election. “But I am a Republican and I don’t think President Trump is going to make it to the November election and I do not think he will be the Republican nominee.”
“If he is the Republican nominee, I will be working to defeat him for sure because you can’t have this guy running the country for the next four years,” he added.
Scaramucci, a former loyal Trump supporter, added that he plans to launch a political action committee later this month that will target suburban voters in swing states, particularly suburban women.
“We have a mega-MAGA bully-in-chief that’s lightening people up left and right on his Twitter feed instead of actually running the country,” he said. “I’m going to be spending my time in the swing states over the next 13 months explaining that to a very swath of people.”
The former White House aide’s comments come just weeks after a public feud with the president. Read more
