This year marks the second consecutive presidential election in which Romney has voted against Trump. He admitted in 2018 that he voted for his wife, Ann Romney, as a write-in candidate for the 2016 election. That came after a speech he delivered in March of that year, during the Republican presidential primary, in which he blasted Trump as “a fraud.”
Trump nonetheless briefly considered Romney in 2017 as a candidate for secretary of state. Romney ultimately ran for Utah’s Senate seat in 2018 instead.
Romney voted in February to impeach Trump on charges that he abused the power of the presidency, though he voted to acquit the president on a charge of obstructing justice.
