Romney says he's concerned by Trump’s comments on Ukraine during the debate
Republican Sen. Mitt Romney, a former GOP presidential nominee himself, said he’s concerned that former President Donald Trump refused to say that Ukraine should win the war against Russia during Tuesday night’s presidential debate.
Romney also said that he doesn’t think the debate will move the needle. “There are a few exceptions to that, but in last night’s debate I thought President Trump prosecuted his case as he wanted to. I think the Vice President was able to demonstrate that people’s questions about could she answer questions from the media or not, those were answered well. She spoke well and clearly, and I think she prosecuted her case as well,” he told CNN.
Romney, a frequent critic of Trump, called the debate a “classic President Trump performance,” and added that Harris was able to introduce herself to the American people.
“Most people didn’t know her terribly well, other than a few clips that that were not flattering that you might see on the internet,” said Romney. “And people saw, ‘Oh, actually, she’s an intelligent, capable person who has a point of view on issues,’ and she demonstrated that time and again.”
The Utah Republican said it was “no surprise” that the baseless claims about Haitian migrants eating pets came from Trump, adding that the former president should “just stick to the issues.”
Several Republicans refused to discuss the debate, including Sen. Todd Young, who has refused to back Trump. “I’ll talk to you after the election,” he said.
