Mitt Romney’s E2 Summit 2015

At least six Republican presidential hopefuls, GOP donors and political operatives from both sides of the aisle gathered in Park City, Utah, for former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney’s E2 Summit. Held at an upscale ski resort, Stein Eriksen Lodge, E2 stands for "Experts and Enthusiasts" and began in 2012 as a fundraiser for Romney’s second presidential bid. Romney says that the current purpose of the three-day summit is to bring together a wide range of leaders in the political, financial and private sectors “to talk about [the] direction for the country."

Yahoo global news anchor Katie Couric attended the conference and talked to Romney, Republican presidential candidate Senator Lindsey Graham and former Defense Secretary Bob Gates about foreign policy, civil rights issues, and the 2016 race.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) believes that Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) did the right thing by apologizing after joking that Graham was a “bro with no ho” in the U.S. Senate.
