Republican Mitt Romney told CBS’s Norah O’Donnell that he would support a number of Democrats running in the 2024 presidential race before former President Donald Trump.
“Who do you like in the Republican field?” Norah O’Donnell asked Romney.
“Uh, anybody. I’d be happy to support virtually any of the Republicans, I’d be happy to vote for a number of the Democrats too, it would be an upgrade, in my opinion from Donald Trump,” Romney said.
The Republican claimed he “likes president Biden” and said he finds him to be a “very charming, engaging person.”
Romney has repeatedly attacked President Trump over the past few years.
“I hope for a president who can rise above the din to unite us behind the truth. Several contenders with experience and smarts stand in the wings; we intently watch to see if they also possess the requisite character and ability to bring the nation together in confronting our common reality,” Romney wrote in an op-ed for the Atlantic.
“While we wait, leadership must come from fathers and mothers, teachers and nurses, priests and rabbis, businessmen and businesswomen, journalists and pundits. That will require us all to rise above ourselves—above our grievances and resentments—and grasp the mantle of leadership our country so badly needs,” he continued.
