2020 election is an ‘uphill battle’ for President Donald Trump [Video]

David Rubenstein, the co-founder of the Carlyle Group and host of "Leadership Live," talks about President Trump and his odds at winning reelection in November.

Video transcript

DAVID RUBENSTEIN: Clearly, President Trump has a challenge now, because presidents don't usually get re-elected when the economy is in bad shape. When the economy is not good, you have people like Jimmy Carter not getting re-elected, George Herbert Walker Bush not getting re-elected, Gerald Ford not getting re-elected. So the economy is not as good as it once was, and then you have a whole variety of other issues you're familiar with with President Trump that some people, you know, comment on regularly. So I would say it's an uphill battle.
