Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, is mulling plans to run for re-election despite growing pro-Trump sentiment in the state.<\/p>\n

Romney, 76,<\/a> won the Republican primary and election in a landslide victory in 2018, but a 2024 re-election run would likely come with a grueling GOP primary battle. Former President Donald Trump has made frequent attacks against the moderate Republican in recent years, making him an outsider in the Republican Party.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ll make my own decision based upon my assessment of what I would be able to accomplish in the second term,” Romney told the Wall Street Journal on Sunday. “Just because I\u2019m alone doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m wrong. . . . You get to a point in life where it\u2019s not like sitting alone in high school in the cafeteria.”<\/p>\n

While Romney has filed the paperwork to allow him to run, he has put little to no effort into fundraising. He pulled in less than $22,000 in individual donations in the 2nd quarter of this year.<\/p>\n

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, a Republican, acknowledged that Romney has a potential uphill battle to re-election, despite having a strong base of support in the state.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s a strong Romney-support wing and a strong group that does not support him right now,” Cox told WSJ. “He says he can win, and I think there\u2019s a path for him to win. But it will certainly be harder this time.”<\/p>\n

Cox, like Romney, is another Republican who has found himself at odds with Trump in recent years. The governor asserted last week that he does not believe Trump can win a general election against President Biden.<\/p>\n

If Romney runs, his most viable Republican primary opponent is Utah state House speaker Brad Wilson. Wilson is a staunch Trump ally who filed a resolution “paying tribute” to the former president<\/a> in February 2020, just weeks after the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.<\/p>\n

Wilson, who has only established an exploratory committee and has yet to announce his candidacy, raised more than $1 million between April and July. Allies of the speaker say he is holding off on a formal announcement until Romney makes a decision.<\/p>\n

Wilson\u2019s exploratory committee website touts him as “pragmatic and conservative” and a lifelong Utah resident. “Brad is exploring a run for the U.S. Senate in 2024 and knows Utahns deserve a bold, proven, and conservative fighter to represent them and their values in our nation\u2019s capital,” the site said.<\/p>\n
