President Donald Trump on Sunday admitted he’s still holding a grudge against Mitt Romney, the only GOP senator to be left off a congressional task force on reopening the U.S. economy during the coronavirus pandemic.

In February, Romney broke ranks with his party, voting to impeach the president on a charge of abusing his power. Since then, Trump has called the Utah senator and former Massachusetts governor a “failed presidential candidate” — Romney was the Republican nominee in 2012 — and “one of the dumbest and worst candidates in the history of Republican politics.”
