Romney on Trump: Everything I’ve Seen Gives Me ‘Increasing Hope’

MITT ROMNEY, speaking Tuesday at the Trump Tower:

"The last few weeks he’s been carrying out a transition effort and I’ve been impressed by what I’ve seen in the transition effort. The people he’s selected as members of his cabinet are solid, effective capability people. Some of them I know very well. Nikki Hailey and I go way back. She’s an outspoken strong powerful leader. Tom Price is someone who actually came to my office before he ran for Senate and we spent time talking about health care, expert and solid thinker in that arena. Jeff Sessions is someone I knew through my campaigns, helped me early on. Distinguished record in the Senate. Many others. Long list of people. Impressive individuals. America’s best days are ahead of us. I think you’re going to see America continuing to lead the world in this century. And what I’ve seen through these discussions I’ve had with President-Elect Trump, as well as what we’ve seen in his speech on the night of his victory as well as the people he’s selected as part of his transition. All of those things combined give me increasing hope that President-Elect Trump is the very man who can lead us to that better future. Thank you."
