Senator Mitt Romney said Republican gains in many down-ballot races in last week’s election were an endorsement of conservative principles, while losing the White House was “a referendum on a person.”
On NBC’s “Meet the Press,” one of three appearances on Sunday, Romney said it was legitimate for President Donald Trump to pursue any irregularities in the Nov. 3 vote. “But if, as expected, those things don’t change the outcome, why, he will accept the inevitable,” Romney added.
