The anonymous GOP source also reported that Trump will only run again if he is not satisfied with any of the interviewed candidates. He is expected to make an announcement by his wife Melania's birthday, April 26th.

What about Marco Rubio and Rick Scott?

What about Marco Rubio and Rick Scott?

Just updated it. Rubio is getting vetted, Scott was invited but declined due to running for re-election.

How about Elise Stefanik, Greg Abbott, or Marsha Blackburn?

Does Romney still plan of seeking re-election to his senate seat?

Shoot, I knew I should've looked at the laws in Utah first

I'll have to go change that. Yes he's gonna stay in the senate.

Can you at least find a way to write it into the story?

June 26, 2023: Mitt Romney Not Running for President, Endorses Nikki Haley

Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) has announced that due to seeking re-election in the senate, he will not be running for president as many have speculated. Romney did, however, endorse Nikki Haley.

I was hoping that for something more on an add on to your deleted post, where Romney reverses course after being reminded he can't run for both president and senate at he same time, and chooses to stay in the senate.

That was more of my knowledge (or lack thereof) of election laws in Utah. I also didn't realize that running for congress and president simultaneously is not allowed in most states except for a select few (those being Ohio, West Virginia, Hawaii, New Jersey, and Romney's old home state of Massachusetts).

I just wanted a reversal to be worked into the pre-existing story rather than just being retconned.
