During an event on Tuesday, Republican Sen. Mitt Romney, a vocal opponent of former President Donald Trump, approached the pledge to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. But he said he wouldn't go any further because he thought it would hurt his position in a Republican Party that wasn't Trump.
“You’re going to have to do the very difficult calculation of what that would mean because I’ve made it very clear that I don't want Donald Trump to be the next president of the United States. I don't want him to be president. Is that okay?” He said it to laughter at the Hinckley Institute of Politics at the University of Utah.
"My own view is that I want to continue to have a voice in the Republican Party, following this election." "I believe I will have more influence in the party by virtue of saying it as I have said," she said. "I think there is a good shot that the Republican Party is going to have to be rebuilt or reoriented, either after this election, or, if Donald Trump is reelected, after he’s the president."
Since he voted to convict Trump in both of the former president's impeachment trials, the Utah senator, who is not running for reelection, said, "I think where I stand on Donald Trump is pretty clear."
Romney said that Democrats are playing to their base on social issues, which is one reason he thinks Trump will win the White House.
He stated, "I think the reason the Democratic Party is in trouble this year — in my opinion, will likely lose the presidential race... is not because of their policy, but it’s because of the positions they’ve taken on cultural issues." He was referring to the Democratic Party's position on cultural issues.
