Senator Mitt Romney made news this week when he announced he would not seek reelection. The former presidential nominee, who is 76 years old, said it was time to step back and let a new generation of leaders step forward. He went on in interviews to suggest that others, i.e. President Biden and his nemesis, former President Trump, might think about following his lead.
