Mr Romney is a former presidential candidate and governor of Massachusetts.
Utah Republican Senator Mitt Romney has said he will not run for re-election in 2024, creating a wide-open contest in a state that heavily favours Republicans and is expected to attract a crowded field.
In 2020, Mr Romney became the first senator in US history to vote to convict a president from their own party in an impeachment trial. Members of the party even flung the term “Mitt Romney Republican” at their opponents on the campaign trail in 2022’s midterm elections.Still, Mr Romney has been seen as broadly popular in Utah, which has long harboured a band of the party that has favoured civil conservatism and resisted Mr Trump’s brash and norm-busting style of politics.
