Romney and Kennedy appeared in a [[television]] debate on May 29, 2018. The two expressed agreement on a plethora of issues, including school safety, health care matters, and immigration. Both presented himself as a conservative. One dividing point was the Reverend [[Robert Jeffress]] of the First [[Southern Baptist|Baptist Church]] of [[Dallas]], [[Texas]], who at President Trump's invitation led a prayer at the dedication of the relocated U.S. Embassy in [[Jerusalem]]. Jeffress, who supported Romney for President in 2012, has been hostile toward Mormonism: he labeled the denomination "a cult" and questioned the integrity of Mormon founder [[Joseph Smith]]. Romney said that he regards Jeffress as a "religious bigot." Romney also noted that he carries Trump's endorsement though Kennedy in the debate repeatedly praised Trump's performance in office. Romney won the Republican primary on June 26, 2018.<ref>Boyle, Matthew (June 26, 2018).
