Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) suggested that certain 2024 Republican candidates should drop out of the race because it would foment what he described as a “Trump plurality” that would essentially hand former President Donald Trump the GOP nomination.
“Despite Donald Trump’s apparent inevitability, a baker’s dozen Republicans are hoping to become the party’s 2024 nominee for president. That is possible for any of them if the field narrows to a two-person race before Mr. Trump has the nomination sewn up,” he wrote in an opinion article for the Wall Street Journal, published this week.
