Utah Senator Mitt Romney said Tuesday that he believes Donald J. Trump will win the Republican nomination as president if he is elected to his former office in 2024, which is another indication of Trump’s alleged power in the party.
“I do not know if he will participate in 2024, but if he does, I’m pretty sure he will win the nomination,” he said. Romney said at the DealBook DC policy project.
Mr. Romney noted that ‘a lot can happen between now and 2024’, but he added, ‘I’m looking at the polls, and polls show that under the names will be driven as potential competitors in 2024 if you bring in President Trump among Republicans , he wins in a rush. ‘
Mr. Romney, the Republican presidential candidate in 2012, is the only Republican senator who voted for Mr. Trump was found guilty during both of his indictments.
Asked by Andrew Ross Sorkin, The New York Times, whether he would fight Trump, Romney replied: ‘I will not vote for President Trump again. I have not voted for him in the past. And I’ll probably notice someone who I think represents the small wing of the Republican Party I represent. ‘
The remarks of mr. Romney was a clear sign of Trump’s enduring position in the Republican Party, even after his defeat in the election last year and his accusation of the charge that he spurred the assault on the Capitol on January 6.
“He has by far the biggest vote and a big impact in my party,” he said. Romney said.
