During an interview with Variety, renowned comedian Wanda Sykes didn't hold back when expressing her views on the Republican presidential candidates.

In her opinion, they are all "awful." When asked if she believed former President Donald Trump would secure the nomination again, Sykes responded, "I don't see how. I mean, there are definitely pockets that he's going to dominate, but I don't see across the country how he'll get the nomination. Right? Are we bad? Is the country horrible?" Variety noted that the interview was edited for length and clarity.

Despite Trump's consistently high poll numbers among other Republican contenders, Sykes remained firm in her conviction that President Joe Biden would triumph once more. "Biden will beat him again. Yep! I said: Old Man Biden will beat him again!" she declared confidently.

While several other Republican candidates are challenging Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is reportedly set to announce his White House bid. However, Sykes did not favor any of them, asserting that "they're all awful."

Sykes, a lesbian, expressed her unwavering support for transgender individuals. She clarified, "I'm not trans, but they have my support, 100%," indicating her commitment to inclusivity and acceptance.

The comedian also discussed the label of being a "woke comic" and embraced it wholeheartedly. Sykes found amusement in the way some people use the term as an insult. "If you want to give me the label of a 'woke comic,' that's fine. That's great," she said. "What makes me laugh is that they say that like it's an insult... It's almost like they're angry that we're evolving. It's sad, really."
