Senator Mitt Romney has publicly acknowledged President-elect Donald Trump's overwhelming victory in the 2024 election, stating that Trump has a mandate to form his cabinet as he sees fit. Romney, who has been critical of Trump in the past, emphasized that the American public 'can't complain' if Trump follows through on his campaign promises. He described Trump's cabinet picks as an 'unusual collection of individuals,' but recognized the democratic process that led to Trump's win. Romney also highlighted the shift in the Republican Party towards Trump's MAGA movement, indicating that the party has become the party of the working and middle-class voter, a change he attributes to Trump's influence. Romney has expressed that he agrees with Trump on many policy fronts but disagrees on some issues, and he has lived a clean life, thus not worried about being prosecuted.
