STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOS - U.S. Senator Mitt Romney will not seek reelection in 2024, capping a roller-coaster ride through Republican politics from the height of his party's 2012 presidential nomination to the depths of tribal warfare in the age of Donald Trump, the Utah Republican said on Wednesday on social media.
As a U.S. senator since 2019, he has been an outspoken critic of Democratic President Joe Biden, though one willing to work with the White House and Democrats on issues including infrastructure and gun control. Romney's decision to retire effectively surrenders his Utah Senate seat to a Republican successor who could be more closely aligned with Trump and the hardline conservative politics of the state's other U.S. senator, Mike Lee.
McConnell, who has put a premium on Senate candidate quality in the 2024 election campaign, had urged Romney to seek reelection, describing him as"an incredibly effective senator" to the Wall Street Journal in August.
