Investor Carl Icahn said he is “very hopeful” that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will win in November, praising the nominee’s economic policy speech on Monday.
“If he sticks with that economic theme, he should definitely win hands down
because I don’t know why you wouldn’t vote for him,” Icahn said Tuesday in a live phone-in interview with CNBC.
