Mitt Romney Rules Out 2020 Run, Says Trump Re-Election Likelyhttps://www.breitbart.com/2020-election/2019/10/10/mitt-romney-rules-out-2020-run-says-trump-re-election-likely/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) confirmed Thursday that he will not mount a primary challenge to President Donald Trump, stating that the president will be the Republican presidential nominee and likely win re-election in 2020.
Romney, a frequent critic of President Trump, made the remarks while hosting a roundtable discussion on anti-vaping policy at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Three Republican challengers have launched longshot primary bids against President Donald Trump — former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, former Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC), and former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) — However, several GOP state parties have already canceled their primary contests. In September, the Utah Republican signaled he is unlikely to endorse President Trump’s 2020 bid.
“I’m not planning on endorsing in the presidential race,” Romney, the former 2012 GOP nominee for the White House, told CNN. “At this stage, I’m not planning on endorsing in the primary or in the general.”
