Romney backs Rounds after Trump criticism

Sen. Mitt Romney posted a message on social media Monday backing Sen. Mike Rounds after his Republican colleague was criticized by former President Donald Trump for saying the 2020 election was fairly decided.

Romney, a Utah Republican who was his party’s nominee for president in 2012, wrote on Twitter, “Mike Rounds speaks truth knowing that our Republic depends upon it.”

He added that Republican governors, senators, and even former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney, as well as the conservative-leaning Wall Street Journal editorial page, are in agreement that “Joe Biden won the election.”
