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.

At least Biden would get that POS out of the Senate.
Rut
Biden is going to make Democrat’s furious! They expect to be rewarded with these positions!
When Trump wins reelection, he needs to appoint him to something!
Since Romney believes Trump lost he should immediately resign from
his Senate Seat.
Romney should resign from the Senate and then Trump should be declared the rightful winner of the election.
Mitt is home at last...
One has to wonder if good ol’ Mitt hasn’t used the DEM voter fraud scam for himself.
Not surprised!
I’m actually fine with that. It would dislodge the Kretin of Kolob from the Senate, and replace him at least by less of a RINO.
If it comes to this, and Romney accepts, it’s proof of what I’ve been saying. The RINOs know it’s over, they are abandoning ship, Trump has assumed complete control of the GOP.
That’s what basically The Lincoln Project is, the RINOs parting Temper Tantrum, as they know they’ve lost to Trump.
How is this demented pedophile ‘president-elect’ before the electoral meets in December? Because the rotten media says so? Grrrrr!
Seems fitting for the father of Romneycare, the precursor to Obamacare.
Not a good sign.
The only “Biden administration” is going to be part of the interactions between inmates.
Not going to happen.
Biden would screw him, just like Trump did. The guy is a born sucker.
Please, Willard. Take it. Please!
I’m not sure Mia Love is much of an improvement over Romney.
electoral COLLEGE. Too damn angry to type straight.
