Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee for president in 2012 against then-president Barack Obama, said Wednesday that he will not seek a second term in the U.S. Senate, citing his old age and a demand for younger leadership.
‘ “I’ve spent my last 25 years in public service of one kind or another,” the Utah lawmaker said in a video statement. “At the end of another term, I’d be in my mid 80s. Frankly, it’s time for a new generation of leaders. They’re the ones who need to make the decisions that shape the world they will be living in.”
Among the challenges mounting for future leaders are a federal fiscal house in shambles and authoritarian regimes in Russia and China, which Romney said both President Biden and former president Trump are ill-equipped to tackle.
“While I’m not running for reelection, I’m not retiring from the fight,” he said. “I’ll be your United States senator until January of 2025. I will keep working on these and other issues and I’ll advance our state’s numerous priorities.”

You were never a leader Mitt.
Along with Brandon.
Exactly.
Good riddance, Pierre Delecto!
Move to Michigan where our name is royalty Mitt. Turn Detroit around. I’ll then call you a good republican. You did it with the Olympics. Do it now with your blm friends.
He’ll be forgotten quickly.
Translation: “I’m gonna get my ass kicked, just like Liz Cheney did.”
Huzzah! The 61-year Romney RINO dynasty finally comes to an end.
Best news of the day.
Time for another fraud who can fool the voters into thinking they’re a republican like the slimeball Mitt
Deep State doesn’t have a deep bench, but it does have a YUGE collection of dunce chairs.
Romney is easily replaced.
And there’s a reason Utah has same day voter registration...
Deep State couldn’t be planning to install him as Harris’s veep, couldn’t they...
...could they....
That would be a nice “screw you” to the public.
Don’t forget Pelosi, who just announced she’s running for another term. I’d throw in Fetterman, too, because he isn’t up to the job.
“Along with Brandon”
and the orange haired guy...
Both will likely hang on until they die but it’s time for the next generation to have a shot.
BEST NEWS OF THE YEAR! Good riddance, you squish.
"Time for a new generation of leaders" is the latest nonsense talking point from the uniparty.
No thanks establishment.
It's time for the one candidate who isn't part of the uniparty, Donald J. Trump.
New generation of leaders? Cept Trump and Reagan, it's been a while since we had a real leader.
Watch the scumbag make a run at the”No Lable” party ticket in a ploy to take votes from Trump!
