Donald Trump is currently in the lead for the Republican Party nomination in the 2024 presidential election, but he doesn’t have everyone’s support. Sen. Mitt Romney from Utah, who is retiring after his current term ends in 2025, is trying to get other members of his party to open their eyes to other candidates. 

The politician tried to rally his “longtime financial backers” in Park City at the E2 Summit,  hosted by former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, to open their eyes to what is happening in the GOP. “I think our party has multiple personality disorder, and I think the Democratic Party does as well,” Romney said during his appearance, via The Washington Post. “I think we’re schizophrenic. … We don’t know what we are or what we stand for within our party.”

Romney wants to avoid the “train wreck” that is likely ahead, but he believes the impending disaster is “not necessary” if Republican voters are proactive. That’s when he nudged his deep-pocketed voter base to think beyond Donald Trump. He advised, “I want to put the responsibility on your shoulders as the people who are financing campaigns to have some say as to when it’s time for the person you support to say, ‘Okay, I’m getting behind someone else.’” The senator is also predicting that other GOP candidates are likely to stay in the race longer to see how Donald Trump’s legal cases play out.

Ryan seemed onboard with Romney’s plan and even went a step further with his predictions that the former president’s indictments would catch up with him sooner versus later. “A guy, he’s 77 years old — and he’s got like 91 counts, and he’s got a shelf life. … Hopefully, it’s February, but maybe it’s a little longer,” Ryan noted. The two GOP members will have to get a bit louder with their thoughts, criticisms, and suggestions because right now, Donald Trump is running away with that nomination.
