Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) is sharing his plans for the future ahead of the 2024 Election.
In a video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, Romney, 76, took a few moments to tout some of his accomplishments from his time in the Senate.
He then revealed he will not seek re-election.
āIāve spent my last 25 years in public service of one kind or another. At the end of another term, Iād be in my mid-80s,ā Romney said.
He added, āFrankly, itās time for a new generation of leaders. Theyāre the ones that need to make the decisions that will shape the world they will be living in.ā
Watch the video below:
He listed several challenges facing the country such as the national debt, climate change, and āthe ambitious authoritarians of Russia and China.ā
Romney also accused President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump of failing to lead their parties to address those issues.
āPolitical motivations too often impede the solutions that these challenges demand. The next generation of leaders must take America to the next stage of global leadership. While Iām not running for re-election, Iām not retiring from the fight. Iāll be your United States senator to January of 2025,ā he added.
Romney has drawn the ire of conservatives over his criticism of Trump and his votes in favor of impeachment. In 2020, he became the first senator in history to vote to remove a president of his own party.
