Sen. Orrin Hatch: Romney will 'have my support' if he runs for Senate

Source: CNN




(CNN)Utah Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch said Wednesday that he would support Mitt Romney if the 2012 GOP presidential nominee decides to enter the race to replace him when he retires at the end of his term.

Hatch announced his retirement in a statement on Tuesday. Romney is seen as a likely candidate for Hatch's seat.

"I didn't call (Romney) before I made this announcement, but I did call him a while back and explored with him what he had on his mind, and I won't discuss what we discussed," Hatch said on Utah's Morning News radio program. "But there's no question that he loves Utah and wants to support Utah anyway he can. And I'm hopeful he'll run, because he would be just fine. And he would certainly be somebody who I think could succeed me into the job. We haven't spoken in the last few days, but if Mitt decides to run, he knows he'll have my support."

Hatch added that he thought Romney would end up supporting the President on conservative agenda items in the Senate.

He will fall in line like the rest of the Republicans; assuming that Trump is still President of course.
