Republican presidential candidate Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said the support of fellow candidate Donald Trump was a “summer of silliness” that will be ending soon during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday.

Jindal said Trump has done a “great job tapping into the anger” of Republican voters.

“I think after we get past this summer of silliness and insults, the voters are going to begin to look at who is prepared to do the job,” Jindal said. “Who has the intelligence, who has the courage, who has the experience. I believe I’m the candidate best able to do this job on the first day.”

Host Martha Raddatz challenged Jindal on this claim, saying, “Your campaign does not seem to be catching fire at all.”

The governor, speaking from New Orleans, said the race for the presidential nominee is “wide open.”
