Mitt Romney Asked To Lead Health And Human Services In Biden Administration: Report
The Daily Wire ^ | Nov 9, 2020 | Joseph Curl

Posted on 11/09/2020 9:02:01 AM PST by The Pack Knight

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), a thorn in the side of President Trump for much of the last four years, has reportedly been asked by Joe Biden to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

“He is currently discussing the nomination with his family and is expected to accept the appointment,” The Buffalo Chronicle reported Saturday.

“Biden advisors expect that Romney — a former management consultant by training and a former CEO of Bain Capital — will be tasked with making the national healthcare system more affordable without legislation that modifies the Affordable Care Act,” the Chronicle reported. “It’s unclear if Romney will be tasked with creating open market pricing systems for a’la carte medical services, which could advance the work that the Trump administration has done to require providers to make pricing for their services public. That strategy is seen as key to creating a price competitive atmosphere between providers.”

But should Romney accept such an appointment, that would cost the GOP a senator — at least temporarily. “According to State law in Utah a Senate vacancy will be filled by gubernatorial appointment from one of three individuals nominated by the Legislature, each of whom must be a member of the political party of the prior officeholder,” the paper wrote.

According to the Chronicle, Romney hopes that Republican Governor Gary Herbert will appoint former Rep. Mia Love (R) to fill the vacancy.

I believe Senator Cornyn needs to resign also. I have consistently voted for him since he first ran for office. There are crickets from his office. He does not support President Trump! I heard from a very reliable known source that his office staff said that once voter fraud was proven that Cornyn would support “them”. Who is this “them”? I thought they were all Republican. I was wrong. To say that I am mad is an understatement. I know I hijacked this comment, but I don’t know how to start my own post and I am furious. I voted for this Senator multiple times. I am ashamed. Cornyn needs to immediately post to his twitter and Facebook and go on national tv to sing Trump’s praises and donate money to support the recount. Just like Senator Graham did. Crickets from Cornyn? The old Bush Republican party is dead.

Biden wants Romney where he is, because it would be hard to find a Democrat who could win the seat.

I don't know if the rumor is true or if Romney would take the job, but Mitt is in his 70s and probably not thinking about making the Senate a lifelong career, so he may be looking for something else to do.

Thank you @JoeBiden for developing a COVID-19 vaccine. @realDonaldTrump had four years to do it and couldn’t.

Herbert had better watch out. If he engages in shady backroom deals to appoint Myth’s preferred successor, he may end up like Blagojevic.

So they’re going for communist healthcare too - that’s why they want Romney there - to make it “legal”

They are criminals together. Romney is into the Burisma sort of stuff up to his wrinkled eyeballs. Now Romney gets paid for keeping his yap shut.

At least Biden would get that POS out of the Senate.

Possibly his finest decision ever.

LOL, he would get confirmed unanimously just so that the Senate could get rid of him.

It makes sense.

Another thought along those lines. If the Biden Administration goes draconian with covid measures, they could make Myth the point guy on implementation and the one who takes the first barrage of flack.

I cannot stand to think about a Biden Administration but if it happens, losing Myth from the Senate would be one of the few positives. How about Sean Reyes for Senate? The state attorney general who is taking personal time to assist with the investigation into election fraud sounds like a stand-up guy. Unlike the back-stabbing clown he would be replacing.

That should be flagged as false and misleading.

That would be pretty sweet. Too bad winning a veto-proof majority in the Senate as well in 2022 appears to be mathematically impossible.

No question Love avoided Trump while running in the Salt Lake area’s Rat infested district. She was ultimately defeated by McAdams (D...oofus) in a close race.

Someone needs to check on him. I don’t think he’s in command of his faculties.

Give him a proctologist exam first. I think he found the perfect a hole for that job.
