Jean Carroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump visited Capitol Hill last week and met with Republicans from both chambers of Congress. The trip marked his first time back to the Capitol since the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection and was the first official meeting with the Senate GOP conference since his presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Romney, who has emerged as a GOP critic of Trump, has repeatedly called out the former president\u2019s character and said he will \u201cabsolutely not\u201d be voting for him in the November election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked about his decision against voting for Trump earlier this year, the Utah Republican pointed to \u201ctwo factors\u201d \u2014 policy and character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat America is as a nation, what has allowed us to be the most powerful nation on Earth, and the leader of the Earth is the character of the people who have been our leaders,\u201d Romney said. \u201cPast presidents, but also mothers, fathers, church leaders, university presidents, and so forth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHaving a president who is so defaulted of character would have an enormous impact on the character of America,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd for me, that\u2019s the primary consideration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Romney, who ran for president in 2012 and secured the GOP nomination, has also said he differs with Trump over foreign policy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
