TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — Republican US Senator Mitt Romney, of Utah, announced Wednesday he will not seek re-election.

He called for a “new generation of leaders” and criticized both President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump.
He released a video message outlining a range of what he described as critical issues, including rising national debt and the climate crisis.
