Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, on Friday backed President Trump’s stance on the partial government shutdown, backing his call for a wall on the southern border and saying he doesn’t understand Democrats’ positioning on the issue. said Romney, speaking in Ogden, Utah after visiting with officials about the shutdown's impact on the community. "I don't understand their position, I really don't." While Romney is a fellow Republican, he has been a frequent critic of Trump, particularly Trump’s conduct in office. I look forward to voting for it and will work to encourage my Republican and Democratic colleagues to do the same," Romney wrote.
