“There’s no question that the Republican Party today is in the shadow of Donald Trump,” Mr. Romney said on Wednesday, noting that the far right of the G.O.P. is less concerned with policy and more focused on “resentment and settling scores and revisiting the 2020 election.”

Romney was the only Republican to vote to convict Trump in the 2020 impeachment trial, which involved Trump’s efforts to persuade Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to dig up dirt on Biden ahead of the 2020 presidential campaign and withholding aid to that country. Romney was one of seven Republican senators to vote to convict in the second trial, which came weeks after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
