Former President Donald Trump blasted Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) on Wednesday, even going so far as to predict he won’t win reelection.
Trump took to Truth Social to renew his endorsement of Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and call out Romney for not doing the same.
ROMNEY’S REVENGE: MITT HELPED CONVINCE BIDEN TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT, NEW BOOK REVEALS
“Mitt Romney is the junior senator from the Great State of Utah, which I won twice in a landslide, once by beating the candidate Evan ‘McMuffin’ McMullin who is currently running against Senator Lee,” Trump wrote. “McMuffin does not represent the values of Utah, but neither, as you will see in two years, does Mitt Romney who refuses to endorse his fellow Republican Senator, Mike Lee.”
The social media post followed Lee’s appearance on Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s show Tuesday night. Lee confirmed that every one of the other 48 Republican senators have endorsed him, excepting Romney. Trump called the lack of endorsement “unprecedented” because it “rarely has happened in political History.”

McMullin is running against Lee this November as an independent candidate. Utah’s Democratic Party has opted not to nominate a candidate of its own, endorsing McMullin instead.
Romney has not announced his candidacy for 2024. The senator recently hosted Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) during his trip to Utah.
