Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said that if former President Donald Trump decides to run for president in 2024, he will probably win the Republican nomination.
“I don’t delude myself into thinking I have a big swath of the Republican Party,” Romney, a frequent critic of Trump, told Politico on May 5. “It’s hard to imagine anything that would derail his support. So if he wants to become the nominee in [2024], I think he’s very likely to achieve that.”
While it’s not set in stone that Trump will run for president again, the former commander-in-chief has offered strong hints in recent days. Trump hasn’t formally announced his plans, saying that he would do so after the 2022 midterm elections are over. He’s also cited federal election rules regarding election donations.
