I had been assuming for a while that he had an eye on running for president in 2024.
Back when it looked like Trump would go away and be viewed as an embarrassment to conservatives after he left office, I thought Romney was preparing to offer himself as the "Republican with integrity" who conservative voters would look to for redemption.
But it is now obvious that the Republican party is still Trump's.
So what is Romney thinking voting to confirm Jackson? He's got to know that that will prevent him from getting anywhere close to the 2024 Republican nomination.
