At the beginning of his final Utah press conference Friday, outgoing Sen. Mitt Romney held up a “Romney” pin from his father’s run for governor in Michigan. Romney said he had pockets full of pins, and he’d sell them for $1 a piece to his father’s supporters.
Romney sounded several nostalgic notes in the press conference, held as he comes to the end of his single term representing the state in the U.S. Senate, and at the end of a much longer career in public service. Romney sounded ready — cheerful even — to move on.
When asked what he plans to do now, Romney, who is 77 years old, said “Nothing.”
“My time on the political stage is over,” he said. “It started here, it ends here.”
Here are three key headlines, according to Romney, from the press conference:
- Trump will stop immigration mess
- Democrats started saying "nutty stuff," in "real trouble"
- Romney will stick with Republican Party
