U.S. Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) today issued a statement in response to President Biden's recent announcement.
“I’m a classic Republican and he’s a classic Democrat; obviously, President Biden and I usually didn’t see eye-to-eye. I opposed many of his initiatives. But we did find common ground on infrastructure, Ukraine, the Electoral Count Act, adding religious liberty protections to the marriage bill, gun safety measures, and chip manufacturing,” said Romney.
“Others will judge his presidency. However, having worked with him these past few years, I respect President Biden. His decision to withdraw from the race was right and is in the best interest of the country.”
Romney concluded by extending personal wishes: “Ann and I send warm personal wishes to the President and First Lady.”
