Is Trump Still the Front Runner for the Republican Party? | EWTN News Nightly

Former Congressman and Director of the American Center for Political Leadership at Southeastern University, Representative Dennis Ross, joins to share his reaction to Tuesday night's announcement by former President Donald Trump from Mar-A-Lago. There's a lot of talk about putting other candidates at the top of the GOP ticket, like Ron DeSantis. Representative Ross discusses whether President Trump is still the party standard bearer or whether it is time to move on. Ross explains why Trump did not wait until after the Georgia runoff election to make his announcement and why he chose this Tuesday to break the news. Regarding the US House, no sooner did the GOP seize control and Republicans nominated Kevin McCarthy as Speaker. Ross tells us what he thinks of this pick. There's a lot on the agenda when the new Congress goes into session, to include an FBI probe and a promised closer look at the origins of COVID. Ross fills us in on what the priority is for the new House. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
