Mitt Romney will call senior donors at 11am EST Friday to give them “an update” on his campaign plans. Sources have told The Daily Beast that the former Massachusetts governor will announce his intention to explore a third run for the White House. Romney and his senior aides believe he is the best placed candidate to defeat Hillary Clinton. In a memo sent by Romney to his inner circle on Thursday he highlighted three reasons he should run: He thinks he’s the only qualified Republican in the field, polling is favorable to a win, and he thinks he can do better as a campaigner in 2016. Romney had originally intended to wait until later in the cycle but the bullish entry of Jeb Bush into the field encouraged him to jump early.

David Freelander reported last month that Bush is a joke in Romneyworld. "A Bush can’t beat a Clinton," one donor quoted Romney as saying. The outlines of Romney's presidential run appear to be an emphasis on helping the poor and middle class. After dismissing the "47 percent," Romney seems to want to help them now, Jackie Kucinich writes.

Former Massachusetts governor and 2012 GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney said he will not run for president in 2016.

Hugh Hewitt posted text of the remarks Romney was to make on a conference call with donors discussing his 2016 plans on Friday.

"After putting considerable thought into making another run for president, I’ve decided it is best to give other leaders in the Party the opportunity to become our next nominee," the prepared remarks say.


Romney lost his 2008 bid for the Republican presidential nomination to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), and in 2012, ran unsuccessfully against President Barack Obama.

Romney hinted recently that he was exploring a run for the presidency after months of him saying he would not make another White House bid.

"I'm not running, I'm not planning on running, and I've got nothing new on that story," he told Bloomberg in October 2014.

But even as he denied he was interested in another campaign, Romney left the door open. Romney told donors earlier in January that he was considering running for president, and moved to reassemble his old campaign team.

Romney's potential 2016 Republican rivals had questioned whether the former governor could bring anything new to a campaign.

"There are some who believe that the path to Republican victory is to run to the mushy middle, is to blur distinctions," Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said in January in response to a question about Romney. "I think that recent history has shown us that’s not a path to success. It doesn’t work. It’s failed electoral strategy."

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) dismissed Romney as "yesterday's news"

It's a flip flop! How unusual! Lol.

Although in all honesty, this wasn't his flip flop fault!

It's confusing. He said he wasn't but also said he's the best person to beat any democratic nominee.

I don't get it. He definitely left the door open while saying he isn't running.

Well, there s Mitt, Jeb or that other guy, I cant remember his name, and honestly I would rather it be Mitt.

He is testing waters, leaving an opening.
