POLITICS‘ABSOLUTELY NOT’: Romney Rules Out Supporting Trump In 2024

Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will break from the GOP if Donald Trump is the nominee in 2024

Sen. Mitt Romney has unequivocally ruled out supporting 45th President Donald Trump’s third bid for the White House, even if the former president secures the Republican Party’s nomination.

The establishment U.S. Senator from Utah, who once sought Trump’s support in his failed bid failed to oust 44th President Barack Obama from the White House in 2012, made the remarks during a climate change event in Washington, D.C.

“Absolutely not,” Romney said, according to The Washington Examiner. He then touted his impeachment record, telling attendees, “Look, I voted to remove him from office twice.”

Claiming that “he loses,” Romney added that Trump is “not a person who ought to have the reigns of the government of the United States.”

Despite his refusal to support Trump – potentially abandoning the Republican Party’s presidential ticket come November of 2024 – Romney acknowledged the low odds that another candidate could win against him, the outlet noted.

Watch the clip on Spreely.video:


Trump continues to dominate most polls of Republican primary voters, though one poll taken immediately after the party’s mediocre midterm performance showed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis beating Trump.

Virtually all polls taken since Trump formally announced his candidacy, however, have showed the 76-year-old ahead by overwhelming margins.

Though Romney has positioned himself as a staunch public enemy of Trump, he nevertheless keeps company with many of Trump’s supposed allies.

In September, I reported that Romney was part of a group of senators – led by Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham – who sought to reverse the former president’s promise to pardon the January 6 prisoners if reelected in 2024.

January 6 “was an attack on the temple of Democracy,” declared Romney, before asserting that the January 6 defendants “should be prosecuted according to the law, and certainly not pardoned.”

Romney characterized Trump’s promise as “a grossly inappropriate comment to make.”

he has all of the right enemies

Just what I was thinking. Everything they try just has that magical negative ring to it, like who do they think they're kidding. Or thanks, you just gave us another reason to support him.

And watch out for calls for "unity." Who do they think they're kidding.

Romney is up for re-election in 2024.

Hopefully the Mormons will try to redeem themselves by ousting him in a primary.

” before asserting that the January 6 defendants “should be prosecuted according to the law, and certainly not pardoned.””

Apparently Romney was okay with the Obama pardon of Chelsea Manning and the FALN terrorist Oscar Lopez Rivera. He may have also approved of Clinton’s pardon of Marc Rich, two members of the Weathermen, and sentence commutations to 16 FALN terrorists.

He couldn’t even support the other GOP senator from his state, Mike Lee.

If you’re not a team player then get off the field!

He’s not an imposter.

He’s a real Republican. He’s EXACTLY what the GOP is all about.

Wake up.

“I can’t believe I voted for this scumbag in 2012.”

No worries, many of us did. Even after losing the last debate to Hussein and then he went to lose the election.

Now that is the definition of LOSER! Judging by his behavior now he would have sold us out anyway. I think he choked on purpose as he realized he was one of them and not one of us.

A Romney endorsement is the kiss of death.

We didn’t really have a choice in ‘12

What’s more concerning is, his attitude and political leanings aren’t a secret.

How in the hell did Utah elect him?

Then again, they keep on electing Lee, who wants to import a never ending supply of foreign tech workers to take jobs from Americans so it’s pretty obvious Utah ain’t right.
