Here is a selection of what Romney’s peers and colleagues, past and present, might find about themselves in the new biography.
The senator from Utah and 2012 presidential nominee is openly critical of the direction of his party. Here are some of his views on his colleagues and peers, past and present.
Romney’s advisers in 2012 suggested that he consider Chris Christie, then the governor of New Jersey, as a running mate, according to the book. Evaluating Christie’s 2024 campaign, Romney labels him “another bridge-and-tunnel loudmouth” like Trump.Romney called Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas “scary” and “a demagogue” in his journal, and in an email assessing political candidates in 2016, he said Cruz was “frightening.”
Yet Romney appeared to have reservations. He worried that DeSantis shared “odious qualities” with Trump, pointing to his penchant for stoking the culture wars and his fight with the Walt Disney Co.“There’s just no warmth at all,” Romney said. He added that when DeSantis posed for photos with Iowa voters, “he looks like he’s got a toothache.”“He’s much smarter than Trump,” Romney said. But, he added, “there’s a peril to having someone who’s smart and pulling in a direction that’s dangerous.
In his journal, Romney wrote that his wife, Ann, thought that Gingrich was “a megalomanic, seriously needing psychiatric attention.”As he does with many other Republicans in the book, Romney hammers Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, over what he sees as a gap between his public and private statements relating to Trump.
