At the Washington Examiner, Philip Klein reports that Mitt Romney doesn’t intend to endorse Donald Trump.
Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP presidential nominee, said at a dinner in Washington on Thursday night that he had no intention of supporting presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, and said he was “dismayed” by what he saw as a drift toward “demagoguery and populism” in both parties.
Romney also praised Speaker Paul Ryan’s hesitancy to endorse Trump.
Yet, the former 2012 Republican nominee has no plans to run for president as an independent.
Asked about a possible independent run, he said, “No, I’m certainly going to be hoping that we find someone who I have my confidence in who becomes nominee. I don’t intend on supporting either of the major party candidates at this point.”
