  • President Donald Trump is reportedly determined to take revenge on Senator Mitt Romney, who was the only Republican to break with his party colleagues and vote to remove Trump from office. 
  • "The only one that voted against us was a guy that can't stand the fact that he ran one of the worst campaigns in the history of the presidency," Trump said in a jibe aimed at Romney's failed presidential candidacy in 2012 on Thursday.
  • Among measures being considered by Trump are funding a candidate to run against Romney in 2024, or pressuring top operatives and donors not to work with the senator.
