Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) is coming to grips with the fact that President-elect Donald Trump and his Make America Great Again movement are now at the heart of the Republican Party.

The Republican Party's 2012 nominee predicted who the GOP will choose in 2028. Outgoing U.S. Senator and 2012 GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney said he expects Vice President-elect JD Vance of Cincinnati to carry the torch for the GOP after President-elect Donald Trump finishes his second, and last, presidential term.

Sen. Mitt Romney, a choice straight out of central casting for the sort of blue-blood establishment Republican that once defined the party, admitted that his time was done in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper. “MAGA is the Republican Party," the staunch critic of the president-elect shared on Sunday. Donald Trump is the Republican Party today.”
