Senator Mitt Romney has proved he’s a Republican in name only once again.
In a recent sit-down interview with CBS’s Norah O’Donnell, Mitt Romney said he would support anybody over Trump.
Romney also stated, āIād be happy to support virtually any one of the Republicans ā maybe not Vivek [Ramaswamy] ā but the others that are running would be acceptable to me, and Iād be happy to vote for them.”
He continued, āIād be happy to vote for a number of the Democrats too…It would be an upgrade, in my opinion, from Donald Trump.”

Here’s what The Hill reported:
In a CBS interview with Norah OāDonnell on Friday, the retiring senator solidified his reputation as a stalwart anti-Trump Republican, saying he would support āanybodyā over Trump.
āIād be happy to support virtually any one of the Republicans ā maybe not Vivek [Ramaswamy] ā but the others that are running would be acceptable to me, and Iād be happy to vote for them,ā the retiring senator said Friday in an interview with CBSās Norah OāDonnell.
āIād be happy to vote for a number of the Democrats too,ā he continued. āIt would be an upgrade, in my opinion, from Donald Trump and perhaps also from Joe Biden.ā
Romney announced in September that he will not seek reelection, sparking a wave of gloating insults from Trump and his allies.

Per The New York Post:
Sen. Mitt Romney said he would vote for a Democrat over former President Trump or businessman Vivek Ramaswamy in a potential 2024 general election matchup.
āIād be happy to support virtually any one of the Republicans, maybe not Vivek, but the others that are running would be acceptable to me and Iād be happy to vote for them,ā Romney said to CBS news host Norah OāDonnell in a clip which resurfaced online Saturday.
āIād be happy to vote for a number of the Democrats too. I mean, it would be an upgrade from, in my opinion, from Donald Trump and perhaps also from Joe Biden,ā Romney added, without specifying which Democrats he had in mind.
The remarks were originally aired a month ago as part of a lengthy discussion between Romney and OāDonnell on a new book about the senator.
