Mitt Romney announced that he won't run for re-election due to his age.

"Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney announced Wednesday that he will not run for reelection to the Senate and called for a “new generation of leaders” as he criticized both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump."

I appreciate the example he is setting, but wish it wasn't a moderate Republican leaving. Who knows who Utah will elect in his place.

I'm a cynical bitch, so I assume he just see the MAGA wind blowing and knows he can't compete with crazy. He gets to retire and look noble and rake in a bunch of corporate speaking gigs. And knows a Republican will take his place.

I mean good for him or whatever but he deserves half a stale cookie of praise.  

He's got receipts and it sounds like he's showing them and calling people out by name. A day late, a dollar short...but something is better than nothing, I guess. If only these guys were brave enough to call people out BEFORE they announced they're not going to seek re-election. 

I wonder if Evan McMullin will run again. That would be my guess. He's run as an Independent in the past, but definitely leans right, though he endorsed Biden in 2020. Could be interesting to watch and see what happens.
