Romney spoke, I don't know, 10 hours ago, less than 12 hours ago, and people should know that because otherwise there's speculation," Conway told CNN's Chris Cuomo on CNN's "New Day." Conway said that the two have a "great relationship" and discussed tax cuts and Trump's recent decision to shrink the Bears Ears monument. Romney is being widely encouraged to run for Sen. Orrin Hatch's Senate seat should Hatch retire, and several "Draft Romney" groups have formed across Utah trying to nudge the former Republican presidential nominee into the race. Conway didn't say whether that was addressed.
