l
ong-time Donald Trump critic Mitt Romney has said that the former president’s political endorsement is now a death knell for GOP candidates.
Speaking with reporters about the defeat of Herschel Walker in Georgia’s senate runoff, Romney blamed Trump’s endorsement of Walker for the defeat and labeled the former president a ‘kiss of death’ for other Republican hopefuls.
Walker is the latest in a slew of candidates endorsed by Trump who suffered embarrassing defeats in this year’s midterms – after Arizona’s Kari Lake and Pennsylvania’s Dr Oz also flopped in the polls.
Romney, a Republican senator from Utah long-known for his outspoken criticisms of Trump, is just the most recent Republican to blame Trump for the party’s disappointing midterm results.
