Mitt Romney 'not going to put aside conservative principles' to compromise with Biden

Published November 8, 2020 11:11am ET



Sen. Mitt Romney says he is ready to stand up for Republican priorities when working with presumptive President-elect Joe Biden.

“I know he’s on the other side the aisle, but I want to make sure we conservatives keep on fighting to make sure we don’t have a Green New Deal, we don’t get rid of gas and coal and oil, that we don’t have a Medicare-for-all plan put in place, that we don’t raise taxes on American enterprise that would kill the economy,” Romney told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday. “So look, I congratulate him, but I’m not going to put aside conservative principles. We’re going to fight for the things we believe in.”
