Washington • Sen. Mitt Romney is joining a small handful of Republicans who are opposed to President Donald Trump nominating former presidential candidate Herman Cain for the Federal Reserve.
The Utah Republican says he wouldn't likely vote for Cain, a former head of Godfather's Pizza, whose nomination has roiled markets because of his lack of experience.
Cain was chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, one of the branches of America’s central bank, but has been criticized as strictly a loyalist and political pick by Trump to counter the president’s angst with Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.
