Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) made clear in an interview with The Atlantic on Wednesday that he will not vote for President Trump's re-election in November.
Driving the news: Romney sent shockwaves through Washington after announcing he would vote to convict Trump in the impeachment trial becoming the only Senate Republican to break ranks and vote for the president's removal from office.
"The president delayed funds for an American ally at war with Russian invaders," Romney said in a speech on the Senate floor. "The president's purpose was personal and political. Accordingly, the president is guilty of an appalling abuse of public trust." Yes, but: Romney also stated that "under no circumstances" would he vote for Sens. Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren, who could face off against Trump in the general election.
Romney wrote in his wife's name on the ballot in 2016. "Shell probably get [a] second vote," he told The Atlantic.

I doubt the dems would trust him after seeing him betray the Republicans.
Will Willard go back to Massachusetts where he belongs or continue to carpet bag in Utah? In either case, his vote for the socialist POS the Democrats decide to put up is unlikely to change the electoral votes of either state.
Romney was responsible for the McMullin nonsense
Either that or they are convinced it's just easy, and
anyone can do it. It isn't easy. He did just the right
things to make it happen. We've seen how hard it is by
watching others try it.
Mitt, fella, give it a rest. You're such a total looser.
Move on. Everyone else on the right already has.
Do you really want to be saddled with the party of pie
in their face, demoncRats?
will try to be power broker on the next USSC nomination.

I would not trust him to do that job if I were you.
No worries. My family will never vote for a Republican endorsed by Romney. Loyalty is a two way street.
He is as crazy as Pelosi, Biden or Schiff.
I believe it is because he is afraid of the investigations into the use of foreign aid as a money laundering machine.
Don’t forget that one of his top advisers worked with Hunter Biden at the time Hunter was making his deals with the Ukraine.
It is hard to believe that someone so highly tuned to insider information and how to take advantage of “opportunities” would miss out on a chance at 7 billion.
I suggest that the president have Rudy take a look at Romney’s income stream.
You hit that nail squarely on the head. Mitt must thing guilty until proven innocent is the standard.
I think the only reason he voted the way he did was for the media attention it would generate. He’s getting what he wanted. He is, otherwise, a nobody in the senate.
LOL
Romney isn’t going to be an independent. He’s going stay a Republican and obstruct POTUS has much as possible. I’m sure he’s got his eye on any SCOTUS nominee already. He’ll be whipping votes against conservatives on that one. Guaranteed.
You don’t say!
The turd party is calling your name.
Resist... resist...
Prove to those who say you're clueless
they are wrong.
will try to be power broker on the next USSC nomination.
Agree. And it seems the Senate GOP Is just fine with that. They’ll all hide behind Romney and a couple other progressive Republicans until Trump is forced to nominate a Souter type.
“Yes sure President Trump was so afraid of Biden.”
No kidding - that was the stupidest theory in a sea of stupidity.
I was greatly disappointed when Romney lost in 2012.
Now, I’ll give money to any challenger of his.
Romney is a pure traitor to the cause of conservatism.
No loss with Romney out. He should move to what his God whispered to him & join the Dimmicrats.
