d****o 发帖数: 26 | 1 Republican leaders and high-powered donors in Utah are waging a quiet but
concerted campaign to convince 83-year-old incumbent Senator Orrin Hatch not
to seek reelection next year—and now, they may have found a successor.
Mitt Romney, the one-time presidential nominee and leading Trump critic, is
exploring a run for Hatch’s Senate seat.
According to six sources familiar with the situation, Romney has spent
recent weeks actively discussing a potential 2018 Senate bid with a range of
high-level Republicans in both Utah and Washington, and has privately
signaled a growing interest in the idea. Romney, though, has made clear he
would not pursue the seat without Hatch’s blessing. |
