Vice President-elect Mike Pence says Mitt Romney is �under active consideration� by President-elect Donald Trump to be nominated as Trump�s secretary of state, �along with some other very distinguished Americans.�

In an interview with �Fox News Sunday,� Pence says Romney�s recent meeting with Trump was a �warm and substantive� exchange. He said the team spent about an hour together and that Romney and Trump did have some private time.

Pence says overall, �it was a cordial meeting.�

Pence also says repealing President Barack Obama�s health care plan is the new administration�s first priority. He says Trump �wants to focus out of the gate� on repealing �Obamacare.�
