Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) has a plan to take down former President Donald Trump in the GOP primaries, and it requires the cooperation of the 2024 Republican presidential field to pull it off.
In an op-ed published by the Wall Street Journal on Monday, Romney urged Republican donors and party influencers to unite behind a single candidate who can face Trump one-on-one to clinch the GOP nomination. If every candidate and megadonor is able to coalesce around one candidate, it could be possible to defeat Trump despite his front-runner status, according to Romney.
“That decision day should be no later than, say, Feb. 26, the Monday following the contests in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina,” he wrote. Doing so, however, would merely split the “non-Trump vote," Romney wrote, effectively ensuring the former president would win the nomination.
