Romney Will Consider SCOTUS Nominee

On Tuesday, Utah Sen. Mitt Romney announced he planned to consider and vote for President Donald Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court.<br />"The historical precedent of election year nominations is that the Senate generally does not confirm an opposing party's nominee but does confirm a nominee of its own," he said in a statement.<br />Romney said he will follow the Constitution and consider Trump's nominee.<br />"If the nominee reaches the Senate floor, I intend to vote based upon their qualifications."<br />Business Insider reports that Romney's announcement destroyed any hopes Democrats' had of blocking Trump from filling Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat.
