Former British finance minister Rishi Sunak leads race to replace Liz Truss as PM as Boris Johnson reportedly mulls a comeback:
Speculation the pair could strike deal to unite fractured governing party after report of late-night talksOusted former prime minister Boris Johnson, left, is reportedly mulling another run at the U.K. leadership, as his former finance minister Rishi Sunak confirmed Sunday he was putting his name in the race.
Mordaunt garnered about 24 lawmakers' public support, while Johnson, who has not yet declared if he is running, has about 50 so far. Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg told the BBC Sunday he spoke to Johnson and that "clearly he's going to stand" after Johnson flew back to London Saturday from his vacation in the Dominican Republic.
"This isn't the time for Boris and his style," Baker told Sky News on Sunday. "What we can't do is have him as prime minister in circumstances where he's bound to implode, taking down the whole government ... and we just can't do that again."
