Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) tells the author of a forthcoming book that Oprah Winfrey suggested he join her on a unity presidential ticket in 2020 to stop President Trump’s reelection.
It’s the latest revelation in “Romney: A Reckoning” by McKay Coppins, out a week from Tuesday.
The book is based on dozens of hours of interviews with Romney, along with access to his diaries and journals — rare access to the real-time communications of a sitting officeholder.
Coppins writes that Romney told him Winfrey, a Democrat, made a pitch to run together “to save the country,” according to a source familiar with the manuscript.
- Romney tells Coppins he dismissed the idea, believing that such a campaign would inadvertently help Trump.
A source familiar with Winfrey’s thinking said she was never serious about running — although some close to her thought she should.
Romney, who ran for president alongside Paul Ryan on the GOP ticket in 2012, announced last month that he won’t run for Senate reelection next year.
