Mitt Romney is currently running in the Republican Primary to replace the retiring Orin Hatch as the Senator for Utah. But Romney was unable to get the 60% needed this weekend to secure the Republican nomination and now must go head to head with his challenger.
But is Romeny's real goal to just be Senator of Utah? Or is something else going on here? I think that he is running for Senate to get his name back in the political ball game. And assuming he wins the seat, I think this is just a stepping stone to try and challenge President Trump in 2020. We shall wait and see.
