Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) praised Vice President Kamala Harris’ debate performance Wednesday, arguing that the Democratic nominee demonstrated that she is “intelligent” and “capable” in her first showdown against former President Donald Trump.
“We hope that [Harris] invites [Romney] to serve in some capacity if she wins,” Haley Voters for Harris, a political action committee backing Harris in the election, wrote on X.
Romney, a longtime Trump critic who has refused to vote for the GOP nominee for president going back to 2016, told reporters on Capitol Hill that the ABC News debate proved Harris can “answer questions from the media.” “Those were answered well.
“And people saw, actually, she’s an intelligent, capable person who has a point of view on issues,” he added.
Harris, 59, invoked Romey’s name at one point in the debate, touting having the support of “200 Republicans who have formerly worked with President [George W] Bush, Mitt Romney, and John McCain.” Romney himself hasn’t endorsed Harris but declared earlier this year that he would “absolutely not” be voting for Trump.
“With President Trump, it’s a matter of personal character,” the 77-year-old senator said of the GOP nominee in June.
Some anti-Trump Republicans “hope” it will be Romney.
