At 77, Mitt Romney has announced his retirement from the Senate after serving a single term, with no plans for a future in politics. He leaves behind a legacy that includes securing significant infrastructure investments for Utah and passing legislation to protect the Great Salt Lake. Romney was also one of former President Donald Trump’s most vocal critics, despite often aligning with Trump on policy issues. He noted that while the GOP has attracted working-class voters under Trump’s leadership, its policies don’t always align with their needs. Moving forward, Romney is expected to engage in public service but stay away from politics entirely.
