RNC Chair: I'd Rather Run Against Hillary Clinton Than Bernie Sanders

Clinton has won almost 2.5 million more votes than Sanders and a million more than GOP front-runner Donald Trump

The chairman of the Republican National Committee said he is "much more comfortable" with the GOP nominee going up against Hillary Clinton than Bernie Sanders in the November general presidential election, NBC News reported.

In an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer Friday, Reince Priebus said the former secretary of state is "in the ditch" and pointed to the ongoing federal probe into Clinton's private email server.

"I'd rather run against Hillary Clinton because she's defined, she's not liked. And you know, in a popular cultural vote in America, that's a really important question, and she doesn't do well on that question. I don't know what's going to happen with the FBI," Priebus said.

Priebus added that he doesn't fear contesting either of the Democratic candidates and said, "After eight years of Obama, I think this is our year."
