Senator-elect Mitt Romney (R-UT) spoke with CNN’s Jake Tapper today about his decision to write an op-ed critical of President Donald Trump to kick off 2019.

The former governor and presidential candidate emphasized he still wants to work with the President where they agree on policy, but he wanted to make a point of expressing where he stands on “matters that relate to the divisiveness” Trump plays a big part of. He gave examples of things like Charlottesville when he publicly spoke out against the President, but the conversation ended up broadening out to 2020.

Tapper asked Romney if he regrets accepting Trump’s endorsement in his Senate race.

“He was endorsing me, I wasn’t endorsing him,” Romney said, before adding, “And I haven’t decided who I’m going to endorse in 2020. I going to wait and see what the alternatives are.”

7. Well, now. It sounds like he may be considering a run. Very interesting.

If Trump is hauled away in a looney van, Romney may jump into the fray and challenge Pence.
