Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney will not run for reelection in 2024. The former presidential candidate and Massachusetts governor announced his intentions in a video statement Wednesday, noting that he would be in his mid-80s at the end of another six-year Senate term and saying the country is ready for younger politicians. Romney, who is now 76, easily won election in reliably GOP Utah in 2018 but was expected to face more resistance from his own party after he became the only Republican to vote to convict Donald Trump at both of his impeachment trials.
