Romney says won't seek 2024 Senate reelection: 'Time for a new generation of leaders'

Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney on Wednesday said he does not plan on running for reelection, ending decades in public office as he cites his age and says, "It's time for a new generation of leaders."

Romney, who ran as the GOP presidential candidate in 2012, said in a video: "I've spent my last 25 years in public service of one kind or another. At the end of another term, I'd be in my mid-80s."

This could be a trial balloon to see if he would really be missed ... which he won't be.

He can read the tea leaves. He knows he is very unpopular in Utah at present.

So maybe his support for the Biden impeachment inquiry was principled. 

In any case, the party needs to find a conservative who can win the general election.  No political novices, QAnon devotees, or scam artists.

At least he's got the sense to bow out rather than get pushed out kicking and biting.

Hopefully Mittens will be replaced with someone more conservative.  Utah and our Senate could wind up with someone worse.

BREAKING: Mitt Romney announces he won’t seek re-election in 2024

“At the end of another term, I’d be in my mid-eighties. Frankly, it’s time for a new generation of leaders.”

How utterly ironic that it’s Romney who is doing the respectful and appropriate thing and just retiring.

HINT to ERRBODY running in 2024 who will be over 80 by the time their term ended 👀🤷🏼‍♀️

That is almost sure to be true.
