Despite their battles, Trump backs Romney

-

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has endorsed Mitt Romney in Utah’s Senate race, another sign that the two Republican­s are burying the hatchet after a fraught relationsh­ip.

The GOP’s presidenti­al nominee in 2012, Romney announced last week that he would seek the nomination to replace retiring Sen. Orrin Hatch. In a tweet Monday night, Trump wrote, “He will make a great Senator and worthy successor to @OrrinHatch, and has my full support and endorsemen­t!” Romney quickly accepted the endorsemen­t via Twitter.

Trump has not always been so positive about Romney. In 2016, Trump said the former Massachuse­tts governor had “choked like a dog” during his failed 2012 bid against President Barack Obama.

For his part, Romney gave a scathing critique of thencandid­ate Trump during the GOP primary that year, calling him a “phony” who was unfit for office.

Within minutes of Trump’s tweet Monday night, Romney sent one of his own: “Thank you Mr. President for the support. I hope that over the course of the campaign I also earn the support and endorsemen­t of the people of Utah.” according to police.

Officers found the worker’s body inside the government vehicle around 2:30 a.m. after responding to a reported shooting along Interstate 30 just west of downtown, according to Dallas police.

Sr. Cpl. DeMarquis Black said no arrests have been made, and investigat­ors are still trying to determine a possible motive behind the shooting. The victim’s name hasn’t been released. conducive to settlement growth after eight contentiou­s years with the Obama White House.

“This is the first time, after years, that we are surrounded by people who really like us, love us, and they are not trying to be objective,” Katz said. “We have to thank God he sent Trump to be president of the United States.”

According to Katz’s figures, the West Bank settler population reached 435,159 as of Jan. 1, up 3.4 percent from 420,899 a year earlier.
