Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) remains publicly undecided about his political future as the 2024 race for his seat heats up.
Romney, 76, filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission in April, allowing him to fundraise for a potential reelection bid without officially getting in the race. Filings for the second fundraising quarter of this year show that his campaign committee has just under $1.6 million in cash on hand as of late July. The potential candidate raised less than $22,000 from individual donors in the second quarter, according to filings.
A Romney campaign spokesperson did not respond to the Washington Examiner’s request for comment on the senator’s reelection plans, though the Utah Republican has said he expects to announce his decision sometime this fall. A number of those mulling a challenge have been encouraged to get in the race by Trump himself, who has long been vocal about his desire to oust the Utah senator from public office.
There’s also Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes, who served as the state’s co-chairman for Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign. Reports of Reyes potentially challenging Romney have been circulating for years, as Trump encouraged Utah allies to take the senator on in 2024. Reyes and his advisers have said since last year that he was facing pressure to get in the race.
