RINOs know that Donald Trump is the frontrunner in the GOP.
Mitt Romney is trying to change that.
In an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, Romney called out GOP donors to pressure candidates with no path to win to drop out of the race for President.
Romney wrote, “Despite Donald Trump’s apparent inevitability, a baker’s dozen Republicans are hoping to become the party’s 2024 nominee for president…That is possible for any of them if the field narrows to a two-person race before Mr. Trump has the nomination sewn up.”
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) has called upon the Republican donor class to start pressuring low-polling GOP candidates into dropping out of the 2024 presidential race to defeat Trump.
Romney issued his call in a Wall Street Journal op-ed published Monday. He said that the donor class needs to pressure candidates with no path to drop out by February of next year at the very latest.
“Despite Donald Trump’s apparent inevitability, a baker’s dozen Republicans are hoping to become the party’s 2024 nominee for president,” he wrote. “That is possible for any of them if the field narrows to a two-person race before Mr. Trump has the nomination sewn up.”
“For that to happen, 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,” he added.
A recent Harvard/Harris poll found Trump holding a commanding lead in the GOP primary.
