Sen. Mitt Romney announced Wednesday he would retire from the U.S. Senate after one term and would not seek reelection in 2024
Those new leaders will face enormous challenges in the coming years, something the current leadership for the Republican and Democratic parties are not equipped to handle, Romney said.
“We face critical challenges — mounting national debt, climate change, and the ambitious authoritarians of Russia and China. Neither President [Joe] Biden nor former President [Donald] Trump are leading their party to confront them,” Romney said. “On the deficits and debt, both men refuse to address entitlements even though they represent two-thirds of federal spending.
“Political 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,” Romney added.“Thank you Senator Romney for a lifetime of service to our state and country,” Cox posted on social media.
