Romney, Paul Ryan to Host GOP Presidential Hopefuls at Donor Summit

Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, and his 2012 presidential running mate former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, R-Wis., will be hosting four 2024 GOP White House hopefuls at a donor summit in Park City, Utah, on Tuesday.

Romney and Ryan will bring their donors together to interact with the presidential candidates best poised to defeat former President Donald Trump for the Republican nomination.

The two men will bring together former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, former Governor of New Jersey Chris Christie, former Vice President Mike Pence, and Governor of North Dakota Dough Burgum at the E2 Summit to address potential backers in closed-door sessions.

The summit was launched by Romney prior to his senatorship and led by Ryan starting in 2019.

Around 250 attendees are expected to attend and observe the White House contenders.

Romney and Ryan will address the group on Tuesday night. Romney is expected to shed light on the growing tensions in the House of Representatives, as well as the ability of the candidates to handle rising issues concerning the American public.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., among other presidential candidates, were also invited to attend, however, they declined.
