Senator Mitt Romney faced backlash online Saturday from supporters of Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement after a resurfaced interview showed him saying he’d vote for Democrats in the 2024 presidential election.
Romney, a Utah Republican who has served in the Senate since 2019, announced in September he won’t seek reelection in 2024, citing age as a contributing factor.
In late October, Trump denounced Romney as “a total loser” who allegedly “begged” to be appointed secretary of state in 2016.
However, Romney has since continued to become a prominent Trump critic and was the lone Republican senator who voted in 2020 to convict the former president after he was impeached for pressuring Ukraine to open an investigation into the Biden family.
The book features several moments of harsh Trump criticism from the Utah senator, including his description of the former president as “really not smart.”
In previous response to a request for comment, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told Newsweek that Romney is "a certified loser who announced his retirement after everyone learned he was serving himself instead of his constituents.
