Romney wrote on Twitter just shortly after the tweet of Trump: “Thank you, Mr. President, for the support. I hope that over the course of the campaign I also earn the support and endorsement of the people of Utah”. Romney announced on Friday that his long-expected Senate bid in his adopted state of Utah with a low-key rollout intended to duck roiling Republican divisions and avoid signaling that he will play the role of foil to Trump.

I am ready to fight for this great state and advocate for solutions that improve the lives of Utah”. 70-years old Romney touted his leadership of the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City.
