SALT LAKE CITY — U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney was back in Utah Thursday explaining his vote to convict President Donald Trump amid pushes by some angry GOP state legislators to censure Romney or create a way to recall the senator.
“It was a very frank conversation, and people shared their opinions back and forth,” Republican House Speaker Brad Wilson said. It’s unclear whether the GOP-dominated Legislature will advance censure or recall proposals. But Wilson did say there would be a separate resolution to send a message of appreciation to Trump for “the great work his administration has done.”
Asked about possible repercussions for Utah over Romney’s vote, Lyman said “relationships are important.”
