Hmmmmm...... It says he won't be announcing candidacy.
-----
Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, plans to give a major address Thursday about the state of the current presidential race that has consumed the GOP with chaos.
Romney, who briefly considered running again before announcing last January that he would take a pass, plans to deliver remarks Thursday morning at the University of Utah's Hinckley Institute of Politics in Salt Lake City, where he has a home.
Romney's appearance comes at a critical juncture for the Republican Party, with Donald Trump's march to the nomination setting off alarm among party leaders who fear that he would lose the general election and tarnish the party's brand for a generation.
Romney has emerged in recent days as an aggressive critic of Trump, taking to Twitter to call on the billionaire to release his tax returns and to scold him for his refusal Sunday in a CNN interview to disavow the endorsement of his campaign by former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. Some of Romney's friends and allies are involved in quickly expanding efforts to stop Trump.
Romney has not yet endorsed a candidate in the 2016 race, and his associates said Wednesday that he was unlikely to do so in the immediate future. He has kept in touch with two remaining candidates, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
"This is not an endorsement or announcement of candidacy," a person close to Romney said regarding his Thursday remarks.
