Republican Utah Sen. Mitt (the Mutt) Romney, a longtime critic of President-elect Donald Trump, gave Trump "credit" Sunday on CNN for successfully transforming the Republican Party with the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement.

For years, Romney has been vocal in his criticism of Trump, writing an op-ed in 2019 for the Washington Post questioning the former president's "character." On "State of the Union" Sunday, host Jake Tapper asked Romney whether he believes MAGA is "now the Republican Party" or if there could be a GOP post-Trump.

"Oh, MAGA is the Republican Party and Donald Trump is the Republican Party today. If you were to ask me who the nominee will be in 2028, I think it'll be [Vice President-elect] JD Vance. He's smart. Well spoken. Part of the MAGA movement," Romney said.

Good Night, Patriots!
