Mitt Romney announced in a video that he is running for U.S. Senate to “bring Utah’s values to Washington.”
Most interesting line: “Utah welcomes legal immigrants from around the world. Washington sends immigrants a message of exclusion.”
Salt Lake Tribune: “Romney, should he win, will enter the Senate with an oversized megaphone as one of the most well-known Republicans, able to garner attention for every word he utters or action he takes.”
McKay Coppins says Romney is running as a full-throated pitchman for his adoptive home state — making the case that Utah’s distinctive brand of conservatism could offer a better way forward for the GOP and the nation.
