{mosads}Throughout the presidential election, Romney was a face of the “Never Trump” movement, speaking out against the candidate and warning of the consequences of a Trump presidency.

During the primary, Romney told The Wall Street Journal that he wanted his grandkids “to see that I simply couldn’t ignore what Mr. Trump was saying and doing, which revealed a character and temperament unfit for the leader of the free world.”

“I know that some people are offended that someone who lost and is the former nominee continues to speak, but that’s how I can sleep at night,” he added.

Romney is among many Republicans offering their congratulations to Trump following the election.

Jeb Bush, who campaigned against Trump in the primary, also tweeted, saying: “Congratulations on your victory @realDonaldTrump. As our President, Columba and I will pray for you in the days and months to come.”
