Romney: Trump will win reelection in 2020

Sen. Mitt Romney predicted President Trump will be reelected this fall despite breaking with the president several times during his first term in office.

“I’m confident that we will keep the majority in the Senate,” Romney said Wednesday, according to Politico reporter Jake Sherman. “And I actually have long predicted the president will be reelected ⁠— I continue to think that’s the case.”

Romney, who ran for president and lost in 2012, has been one of the few Republican senators to criticize Trump for his public remarks, tweets, or policies.

In March 2016, during the Republican presidential primary, Romney famously called Trump a “fraud” and a “phony.”
