In the wake of Senator Mitt Romney's decision not to seek re-election, the race for Utah's Senate seat in 2024 is poised to be a highly contested battle, predominantly among Republican candidates.
Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, speaks to reporters as he arrives for a vote on Capitol Hill, Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2023, in Washington.If recent history is any guide, there should be no shortage of candidates in next year’s U.S. Senate race. Following Sen. Mitt Romney’s decision not to seek another term, the prospect of an open seat in Congress will be tantalizing for ambitious politicians, especially Republicans.
