Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) says he hasn’t decided whether to run for reelection in 2024, when he could be on the same ballot as Donald Trump if the former president seeks another bid for the White House.
Romney has cast several high-profile votes putting him at odds with the GOP base — including two votes to convict Trump on impeachment charges. He became the first senator in history to convict a president of his own party in an impeachment trial in 2020.
Just last week, Romney was one of only three Republicans to vote to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

Romney should get out of politics and enjoy the remainder of his life.

Romney only cares that his large statue within the RINO Hall of Fame is polished everyday.

Tucker interviewed the RNC head in Utah and asked him how dirt bags like Romney and their governor win primaries. Dems have no chance to win a general in Utah so they cross over and vote in the primaries to give the Republicans the least conservative candidate. With the anti RINO vote getting split a few ways and dems involved, presto Pierre Delecto gets elected.

Pierre is toast in the next election, and he knows it. I imagine his own polling tells him so. I expect an announcement from him after November that he won’t seek re-election. It will be some self-serving diatribe about how the party has changed, and it’s not in line with his values, blah blah blah... This will allow him to vote with Democraps for the next two years without having to face the music. He’s an empty suit, and the LDS’ers should be ashamed of him.

Hot tip for Mitt. Go away, just go away. Utah does not want you, NH does not want you, Massachusetts does not want you...

Of course, "maverick" has been MSMese for "RINO" ever since McPain entered politics.

Mitt's wife has a degenerative disease that gets worse and worse over time.
He once said he'd never run again because she was so ill, but then got installed (lds style) as a Senator.
Too many of us non-mormons are watching the polling places for this to ever happen here again.
It would be an excellent excuse for him to cite his wife's health as to why he's not running again.

Just a guess, but I'd say he thought he could launch another POTUS bid from the Senate, rounding up the anti-Trump wing of the Republican party. What he's probably discovered is that the anti-Trump element is much smaller than he thought, and he isn't very popular with them or anyone else.

Unless we take back the Senate by more than one or two votes this fall, Romney could end up being the Republican Manchin.

His reason for voting the way he does is he hates Trump. The things he sides with the left on are not things that benefit the country. It is just a stab in the back or front.

McCain was a maverick. Democrats loved him. The same goes for Mittens. I can decide for you Mitt. Take a long hike. Your days in politics are over. You jumped the shark. Time to call it. Stick a fork in it. You are done.

GOP “maverick” that’s a laugh. Next they’ll be dusting off other old memes they used to describe McCaine, another opportunistic poser, like “flinty.”

that's right, Mitt, you're a loser now, have always been a loser and will always be a loser so, to be brief, get the hell out of town and go find some far away place where you can repatriate yourself and then when, or if, that happens do not bother the people of this country again, ie: leave us alone

Willard Mitt Romney is nothing but a RINO coward who in my humble opinion threw the 2012 election to the then most inept, destructive, racist president in Barrack Hussein Obama. As the Senatard from UT he's carried on the tradition of being a RINO coward. His latest yea vote on the pedo loving, CRT agreeing, pro-transgender future ruling judge Katenji Brown Jackson proves his cowardice. His future in politics should be quitting so that he can spend time with his family while spending his ill gotten millions.
