Trump and DeSantis unsuitable to attack Biden in election campaign, but another Republican candidate's rating is growing – Piontkovsky

He said this on Espreso TV. 

"The Republicans made the right decision in their strategic election campaign to attack Biden for not supporting Ukraine enough. I think they are now having trouble finding a strong candidate. Neither Trump nor DeSantis is suitable for this role," the political analyst emphasized.

Andrey Piontkovsky explained that it is now clear that a strong pro-Ukrainian candidate will win the election against Biden and then bring a majority of Republicans to Congress.

"A very interesting phenomenon has been happening in recent days, the rating of the Republican candidate and wonderful woman Nikki Haley is growing sharply. We remember that she was the US representative to the UN, and then she left the Trump administration after disagreeing with him on foreign policy issues. And now she has already beaten DeSantis, who turned out to be a non-candidate, in some states in public opinion polls. Well, as for Trump, I think that in the end he will not enter the Republican race. But the Republicans have a great chance to take the White House and Congress by adopting a clear Ukrainian position," Piontkovsky said.
