Sen. Mitt Romney declined to comment Thursday on whether the House’s launch of an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump is appropriate, or on how he might vote if an impeachment trial is ultimately convened in the Senate.
The Utah Republican and two-time presidential candidate also stated unequivocally that he would not challenge Trump for the Republican presidential nomination in 2020, and he denied having conversations with his Senate colleagues on the topic of Trump’s potential impeachment.
“I haven’t spoken with any other Republican senator about the impeachment process, either in person or by email or text," Romney said.
