Sen. Mitt Romney said it’s possible for another Republican presidential hopeful to emerge victorious if the field narrows to a two-person race before Trump has the nomination sewn up.
“‘Republican megadonors and influencers — large and small — are going to have to do something they didn’t do in 2016: Get candidates they support to agree to withdraw if and when their paths to the nomination are effectively closed. That decision day should be no later than, say, Feb. 26, the Monday following the contests in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina.’”
That line above came Monday from Republican Sen. Mitt Romney in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, as he took aim at what he described as “no-hope candidates” in his party’s presidential primary. A crowded GOP field in 2016 helped former President Donald Trump become the party’s nominee, and it’s easy to imagine that happening again in 2024. Trump enjoys a big lead in polls, and the current field stands at a dozen relatively well-known contenders.
But Romney said it’s possible for another Republican presidential hopeful to emerge victorious if the field narrows to a two-person race before Trump has the nomination sewn up. And Utah’s junior senator offered fresh criticism of the 45th president’s motivations and age. “Our party and our country need a nominee with character, driven by something greater than revenge and ego, preferably from the next generation. Family, friends and campaign donors are the only people who can get a lost-cause candidate to exit the race. After Feb. 26, they should start doing just that,” said the senator, who was his party’s presidential nominee in 2012.
