Mitt Romney said it is "too early" to say he will support President Trump in 2020.
The Utah candidate for U.S. senator further explained to MSNBC's Kasie Hunt, in an interview that aired Sunday evening, that his prior prediction that Trump will get re-elected was not an endorsement.
"I also think Gavin Newsom will get elected [as governor] in California. That's not something I want to see, it's just something that's probably going to happen," Romney added.
Romney was also prompted to speak about whether he wants a Republican to challenge Trump in a 2020 primary.
"There will be people who decide, I presume, to get in a Republican primary," he said in reply.
Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts who was the failed 2012 Republican presidential nominee, was a harsh critic of Trump during the 2016 election, calling him a "phony" and a "fraud," but the two appeared to put their differences aside as Romey was briefly considered by Trump to be his first secretary of state.
Ugh. I hate to see a Dem get that seat...but I hope a Dem gets that seat.
What are you waiting for Mittens? For Trump to cure cancer? The best economy ad employment picture in many decades and the two Koreas talking and the Islamists losing ground aren’t enough for you? Why not just go and join the Progs? You would feel better and so would we!
This Romney guy is a real leader./s
Utah voters should never have voted this piece of rap in.
Agreed! Season politician. I will cast my vote for who ever will give me money. Not for the people of Utah.
Utah Mornins are apparently stupid people.
I held them in great respect until now.
People become rich off the backs of others they have really screwed over and we see Romney is a classic example.
Great, just what we need, another McCain. He thinks we should kiss his ass for him to actually be a Republican.
“Romney is now effectively a Democrat in the Senate whose objective is to go on power trips and/or derail the Trump agenda. The only recourse is to win an extra seat to nullify his presence.”
Don’t count on it. Romney will want a lot of things for Utah. It means making nice with the President.
I don’t know much about him other than that he seems to be a Leftist.
Mittens will find he has little support from us! GFYM!
Romney wants to be viewed as a potential Presidential primary contender for 2020, guaranteeing that the Fake News Media will fawn all over him, and positioning him as the leader of the GOPe.
To you point, if Bruce “Campaign Carhartt” Rauner wins in Ill-Annoy and beats JB “The Porcelain Prince” Prickster, I will immediately circulate a recall petition to elect a conservative unaffiliated with The Combine.
Yup! Mittens and his magic underwear will be fouled once again.
President Trump needs to tell Utah that if they elect this jackass, both the state and especially the Mormon church will be on the federal government poop list.
Yeah, and this slob is what stopped me from voting for my first candidate for president. I did not vote for this slob or the other slob in that election. The first in my life I ingnored voting for a president in my life. After that election, I was firm that I was never going to vote for these type of slobs ever again. I was through voting for the lesser of two evils. Evil is evil. To hell with all the slobs. I just skip the slobs now and vote for people that deserve to be voted for.
Romney likely voted for Obama in 2012.
Mittens is the face of the GOPe... sadly he’ll win Utah Senate Seat by 20+ points... and no matter what he says or does we are going to be stuck dealing with him being the face of the GOPe for the rest of Trumps administration
Romney’s a Mormon in Utah, he’ll win by 20 or more... no matter what he does.
