Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, announced Wednesday that he will not seek re-election in 2024, citing the need for a "new generation of leaders" to take the reins of power. Romney, 76, has been an outspoken critic of former President Donald Trump and has spent the last 25 years in public service. His decision not to seek re-election in 2024 is a significant shift in the political landscape in Utah, leaving an open seat for new leaders to fill.
