One of the first elected members of Congress to back Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential effort now has some doubts about the prospect of him running a third time.
Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV) said on Thursday that he had a few concerns about Romney running again. Earlier in January Romney told a group of donors that he was thinking about jumping into the 2016 presidential primary.
Amodei said staffers for Romney reached out to him, recalling that Ammodei was one of Romney’s first backers last time around.
“They said, ‘Hey, you were one of his early supporters last time,’ and I said, ‘Hey I’d love to talk to you guys, but the first thing I want to talk about is what’s gonna change in the ground game, what’s gonna change in the debate stuff,” Amodei said according to Roll Call. “I want to talk to him about what changes you’re making in your lineup to address what people thought were mistakes last time.”
Amodei endorsed Romney’s 2012 campaign in October, after Rep. Joe Heck (R-NV).
