Mitt Romney is begging GOP powerbrokers not to finance a multi-car primary pile-up that could pave the way for Donald Trump to easily clinch party nod.
Sen. Mitt Romney is begging GOP megadonors to help stop former President Donald Trump from easily clinching the party’s nomination in the 2024 race.
The 2012 Republican presidential nominee urged party powerbrokers to condition their donations on a demand that candidates promise to drop out and coalesce around the most viable anti-Trump contender by Feb. 26, 2024.in a Wall Street Journal op-ed published Monday. “Left to their own inclinations, expect several of the contenders to stay in the race for a long time.Romney’s clarion call comes as Trump, 77, not only has a plurality of support, but also a majority 33.
His proposed deadline of Feb. 26 for candidates with no shot at the nomination to drop out is days after South Carolina is slated to host its GOP primary, following the contests in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada.Romney emerged as a forceful Trump critic in the 2016 election cycle, encouraging voters to get behind the most viable candidate in a given state, with the apparent aim of achieving a brokered convention.Romney has since repeatedly assailed the former president’s character.
“Our party and our country need a nominee with character, driven by something greater than revenge and ego, preferably from the next generation,” he stressed in the op-ed.
