Republican Sen. Mitt Romney recently shared his perspective on President Joe Biden's decision to step aside, stating that he believes Biden made the right choice for both himself and the country. Romney emphasized the importance of moving forward, indicating that it was clear that a transition was necessary.
Unlike some of his Republican colleagues who have called for Biden's resignation, Romney refrained from making a direct assessment on whether Biden should step down. He pointed out that there is a constitutional process in place for such matters and that he prefers to focus on issues rather than personal attacks.
When asked about the criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris as a 'DEI hire,' Romney labeled such rhetoric as a 'mistake.' He urged for a more elevated political discourse that centers on policy discussions and visions for the future, rather than engaging in personal attacks.
Regarding the upcoming election, Romney declined to disclose his voting preference for November but reiterated that he does not plan to support former President Donald Trump. He emphasized that his voting decision will remain private, underscoring his stance on not backing Trump for the presidency.
