Former
President Donald Trump celebrated the retirement announcement of Sen.
Mitt Romney,
R-Utah, with exuberance, hailing it as "FANTASTIC NEWS FOR AMERICA"
in a post on his Truth Social account Wednesday.
Romney,
who is 76, announced Wednesday his decision not to seek reelection, prompting
Trump to take to the social media platform to express his jubilation. Trump
unmistakably conveyed his assessment of Senator Romney's Senate tenure in his
social media post, asserting that Romney "did not serve with
distinction."
In
a characteristic all-caps message, Trump not only praised the development as
beneficial for the nation, the state of Utah, and the Republican Party but also
playfully alluded to Romney's previous online pseudonym, "Pierre
Delecto," which the senator had employed on platforms such as X and
Twitter to interact with content critical of Trump, Politico reported
Should
Romney have chosen to seek reelection, it was widely anticipated that he would
confront a primary challenge. In June, a Deseret News poll revealed
that among Republicans, 47% identified more closely with the faction aligned
with Trump, while 39% leaned towards supporting Romney.
The
data underscores the ongoing ideological divide within the Republican Party,
with Trump's influence continuing to hold sway among a significant portion of
its base in Utah.
"A
big primary fight against him was in the offing, but now that will not be
necessary. Congrats to all. Make America great again!" Trump wrote,
according to The Hill.
Romney
cast votes to convict Trump during both Senate impeachment trials. This
highlighted the enduring and contentious relationship between the two political
figures.
Romney's
reputation for adopting a more moderate legislative stance and his willingness
to engage in bipartisan cooperation often served as a counterbalance to the
prevailing tenets of Trump politics within the Republican Party.
Romney's
decision not to seek reelection signifies a conclusion to his extensive
political career. Before assuming his Senate seat in 2019, Romney secured the
Republican Party's nomination for the presidential race in 2012 and previously
held the position of Governor in Massachusetts.
