Senator Mitt Romney Warns Fellow Republicans: Donald Trump is the Most Likely 2024 Nominee

Senator Mitt Romney of Utah has warned his fellow Republicans that former President Donald Trump is the most likely candidate to win the party’s presidential nomination in 2024. Romney believes that the only way to stop Trump is to narrow the field to a two-person race.

Romney’s warnings come after former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley announced her bid for the GOP nomination on Wednesday, with other candidates expected to join in the coming months. During her announcement, Haley promised to move Americans “past the stale ideas and the faded names of the past” while calling for competency exams for politicians over the age of 75.

Romney’s remarks could be considered digs at both President Joe Biden and former President Trump, who are both over the age of 75. Trump-skeptical Republicans fear that Trump’s popularity among the party’s base will make it difficult for any other candidate to gain traction.

Haley’s announcement was seen as a golden opportunity to differentiate herself from Trump, though it remains to be seen if she can gain enough support to challenge Trump in a two-person race. Other potential candidates include former Vice President Mike Pence, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton.

It is unclear who will ultimately emerge from the crowded primary as the Republican nominee in 2024. However, Senator Romney believes that Donald Trump is the most likely candidate and that the only way to stop him is to narrow the field to a two-person race.
