Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is being eyed as someone who could take over as chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee if he runs and wins the Senate race in Utah, according to a report Friday.
Sources told the Atlantic that Senate GOP leaders have discussed the idea of Romney succeeding Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., as chairman of the Senate Republicans fundraising arm.
While it is unusual for a new incoming senator to take over the position, party leaders believe Romney would not be a typical candidate given his prior experience as governor of Massachusetts and the 2012 Republican presidential nominee.
