Mitt Romney thinks President Biden should have pardoned Donald Trump—but not because the Republican senator from Utah has any particular love for Trump. "[Biden] should have fought like crazy to keep this prosecution from going forward. It was a win-win for Donald Trump," Romney said in an interview with MSNBC, noting the Trump supporters rallying to the former president's side and attacking the country's legal system. Plus, as Romney further explained, "Had I been President Biden, when the Justice Department brought on indictments, I would have immediately pardoned him. I'd have pardoned President Trump. Why? Well, because it makes me, President Biden, the big guy and the person I pardoned a little guy."
"And, number two," Romney continued, "it's not going to get resolved before the election. It's not going to have an impact before the election. And, frankly, the country doesn't want to have to go through prosecuting a former president." Biden would only have been able to issue pardons in the federal cases against Trump, but as for the hush money trial currently happening in New York, Romney says Biden "made an enormous error" in not pressuring state prosecutors to drop that case.
