A day after his public attack on Republican front-runner Donald Trump, former presidential candidate Mitt Romney hinted that he might soon endorse one of Trump’s rivals.
“There’s no question I’m going to do everything within the normal political bounds to make sure we don’t nominate Donald Trump,” the former Massachusetts governor said on NBC’s “Today” show Friday morning. “After March 15, I think you’ll see it narrow down.”
“I wouldn’t be surprised if I endorse one of those guys,” he added.
CNN reported Thursday that Romney has asked his team to explore how he might block Trump from being nominated at the Republican convention later this year. But Romney didn’t address those efforts on the “Today” show.
But he did repeat that he is not interested in running himself for the nomination.
“No, no, the people who can save this party are Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio or John Kasich,” he said. “There are no circumstances I can foresee where that would possibly happen.”
When asked how he’d vote if it came down to Trump versus Hillary Clinton, Romney said he wouldn’t vote for either.
“I wouldn’t vote for Donald Trump and I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton. I intend to vote for our nominee,” Romney said.
