Senator Mitt Romney, Republican of Utah, announced that he would retire after serving the current term and make way for a new generation of leaders.

I considered my age and the fact that at the end of a second term, I would be in my mid-80s.

I think it would be a great thing if both President Biden and former President Trump were to stand aside and let their respective party pick someone in the next generation. President Trump — excuse me — President Biden when he was running, said he was a transitional figure to the next generation. Well, time to transition.
