Romney Endorses Trump's Agenda as He Leaves Congress

The November 2024 election wasn’t just too big to rig—it was too big to riot. Even Mitt Romney was humbled. After doing everything he could to discredit and block Donald Trump from winning a second term, the former Utah senator now says he agrees with Trump on "a lot of policy fronts."

“Donald Trump won. He won overwhelmingly. He said what he was going to do, and that’s what he’s doing,” Romney remarked on CNN’s State of the Union this past Sunday. “I mean, people are saying, ‘Oh, I don’t like this appointment or this policy that he’s talking about.’ But those are the things he said he was going to do when he ran. So you can’t complain about someone who does what he said he was going to do.”

Romney went on to describe the President-elect’s cabinet nominees as a "team of rivals," reminiscent of Abraham Lincoln’s approach. “This is a team of people who are very, very different—extraordinarily different backgrounds, different perspectives on issues, and in some cases, I think even different from the president. So, it’s an unusual collection of individuals, not the people I would have chosen,” Romney admitted.

This shift signals that even Trump’s opponents acknowledge the American voters’ demand for dramatic reform. Remember Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign theme of "hope and change?" Today, many mock him for delivering the opposite. Sixteen years later, Americans have voted once again for hope and change—this time, of a very different kind.
