Secretary of State Mitt Romney? Trump and Former GOP Nominee Meeting This Weekend
Romney Denounced Trump as a ‘Fraud’
Leaks are flooding out of the Trump transition team’s Fifth Avenue headquarters and the latest is the President-elect is considering former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney to be his Secretary of State.Â
Romney doesn’t have a great deal of relevant experience, just like South Carolina’s Nikki Haley, whose name is also attached to the Secretary of State role. But he does have a bit more – he was a governor, ran management consulting and private equity corporations, managed the Salt Lake City Olympics organizing committee, and was a missionary abroad. Despite many of his less than acceptable positions, especially on social issues, Romney is seen by many as a statesman.
CNN first reported the news.
