Retiring Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) told CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell that he may vote for President Joe Biden next year.
Romney admitted he’ll support Democrats if the Republican Party chooses Donald Trump or (possibly) Vivek Ramaswamy to be their presidential nominee.
The vocal Trump critic added that any Democrat would be “an upgrade” over another Trump term.
As The Hill reports:
“I’d be happy to support virtually any one of the Republicans — maybe not Vivek [Ramaswamy] — but the others that are running would be acceptable to me, and I’d be happy to vote for them,” the retiring senator said Friday in an interview with CBS’s Norah O’Donnell.
“I’d be happy to vote for a number of the Democrats too,” he continued. “It would be an upgrade, in my opinion, from Donald Trump and perhaps also from Joe Biden.”
Romney announced in September that he will not seek reelection, sparking a wave of gloating insults from Trump and his allies.
“Mitt Romney, sometimes referred to as Pierre Delecto, will not be seeking a second term in the U.S. Senate, where he did not serve with distinction,” Trump wrote in all caps on Truth Social when Romney announced his retirement, referencing the pseudonym Romney used for a private Twitter account.
