Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said Wednesday he would “absolutely not” vote for former President Trump over President Biden in November, pointing to Trump’s foreign policy views and his character.

“No. No, no, absolutely not,” Romney told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on “The Source” when asked whether he would support Trump over Biden.

Romney explained there are “two factors” — policy and character — he is using to decide “who I want to have as the leader of my country and the person who is the example of the president for my kids and my grandkids.” He said are both vital but that character is most important.

    It was an either or question.
    So in this particular scenario not voting for Trump would be voting for Biden.

      But he never actually said that. If someone says “will you vote for Biden or Trump?” Most people answer with their choice, but he basically said “I’m not voting for Trump.” It’s dodging the question.

        As I recall, Biden won a number of districts last time due to Republicans voting R down ballot but leaving the president vote blank
