Mitt Romney's Consideration of a Third Party Candidacy in 2024
In this episode, the podcast explores the likelihood of a third party candidacy in the upcoming 2024 US presidential election. The discussion is prompted by Senator Joe Manchin's announcement that he would not seek re-election and the speculation of a Romney-Manchin presidential bid. The podcast notes that while Mitt Romney had seriously considered running as a third party candidate, his political advisors convinced him otherwise, as they believed that such a move would ultimately benefit Donald Trump rather than Joe Biden. However, the possibility of a third party candidacy is not entirely ruled out, as Romney remains open to persuasion.
