Romney Won’t Encourage Liz Cheney to Run for President

“As Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) contemplates her next move after losing the Republican primary in Wyoming this week, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) says he wouldn’t encourage her to run for president,” the Deseret News reports.

Said Romney: “I’m not going to encourage anyone to run for president. I’ve done that myself, and that’s something I’m not doing again. I don’t know if she really wants to do that. She would not become the nominee if she were to run. I can’t imagine that would occur.”

He noted that Cheney might run for other purposes but added: “I’m not in collaboration with that effort.”
