FILE - In this Feb. 16, 2018, file photo, former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney smiles as he greets students at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Romney, the Republican presidential nominee in 2012, has dropped his harsh critique of Trump as he mounts a political comeback as a Senate candidate in Utah ahead of a June 26 primary.
