Mitt Romney thanked Donald Trump for his endorsement in the Utah Senate race, despite previously having been one of the President’s highest-profile critics.
In the past, the former Presidential candidate has called Mr Trump a “phony” and “a fraud”, railed against his Republican Party leader's “bombast” and accused him of being “very, very not smart” on the subject of foreign policy.
Mr Trump gave as good as he got, suggesting in 2016 that the former Massachusetts governor had “choked like a dog” during his failed 2012 bid against President Barack Obama.
But after the US leader endorsed his candidacy, Mr Romney tweeted: “Thank you Mr President for the support. I hope that over the course of the campaign I also earn the support and endorsement of the people of Utah."
It followed Mr Trump's comment that his former sparring partner would make “a great senator and worthy successor" Orrin Hatch, the longest serving Republican senator in US history, who announced last month that he would retire after 40-years in the upper chamber of the House of Representatives.
Mr Trump has repeatedly said that he needs more Republicans elected during the 2018 congressional elections to win approval of more of his agenda.
