Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) confirmed Thursday that he will not mount a primary challenge to President Donald Trump, stating that the president will be the Republican presidential nominee and likely win re-election in 2020.
Romney, a frequent critic of President Trump, made the remarks while hosting a roundtable discussion on anti-vaping policy at Intermountain Primary Childrens Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Three Republican challengers have launched longshot primary bids against President Donald Trump former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, former Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC), and former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) However, several GOP state parties have already canceled their primary contests. In September, the Utah Republican signaled he is unlikely to endorse President Trumps 2020 bid.
Im not planning on endorsing in the presidential race, Romney, the former 2012 GOP nominee for the White House, told CNN. At this stage, Im not planning on endorsing in the primary or in the general.
Asked whether he has made up his mind whether to support the House Democrats impeachment inquiry against the president, Romney replied, No.
I would have to look at the evidence as its presented, he said.
Ill keep an open mind until and unless there is some kind of decision reached by the House, he added. Its a purposeful effort on my part to stay unbiased and to see the evidence as its brought forward.

Well... that’s almost encouraging news.
I’m sure he’ll nullify it in about 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
Well, that's a relief.
Phew! That was close. Mittsi was just about to win all the Republican primaries.
Dang it, Mitt! I didn’t say I wouldn’t vote for you, I just said I’d vote for my mangy, stinky, lop-eared, misbegotten three-legged mule with halitosis first. Then you. You had a chance.
Muck you, Fittens.
Mighty white of him.
For the first time, I question President Trump’s chances for re-election. After all, since when has this carpet-bagging PoS been right about anything?! ;)
its amazing how people like Mitten and McCain continue to make me hate them more and more.
Maybe he’ll shut up now that he has been tied to Ukraine...
Oh my, I just can’t imagine why.....it couldn’t be the fact that he is a disgusting POS that couldn’t be trusted in any situation could it?
Wanna bet Mitt’s been a bad, baaaad boy?
first sensible thing he’s had to say in months and months
his voters must have got the message through to him to stop mouthing off all his insane anti-Trump rantings
Dogs Rejoice.
I’m hope the arsehole has some ugly internal polling, indicating that flyover America thinks he is a traitorous attention seeking puke.
I know I do.
See. He’s not completely stupid.
:)
He probably had his ‘team’ count the potential delegates/EVs and came up woefully short.
Utah polling must have been brutal...
Never trust a snake.
