NBC News spoke with dozens of voters in Utah in the days immediately following the Senate's vote to acquit the president. Most identified themselves as Republicans who had supported Romney in 2018 and said that regardless of their opinion of the president, Romney's decision to go against his party was one that they understood and respected for its honesty. Many said they would not hold it against the first-term senator when he faces re-election in 2024.

To be fair, Utah is probably the only very conservative state or region that could realistically claim to have never jumped on the Trump train. They had a significant conservative third party option in 2016 and Mormons have never really wholly accepted Trump to the degree that evangelicals have.

Trump actually wasn't very popular in Utah. If there wasn't a supreme court seat open they might have gone with a write-in candidate in 2016

By voting against Trump he has sealed up his (Romneys) reelection.

Nearly everyone in Congress gets re-elected. Anyway. I think the more interesting question is does this help or hurt his 2024 prospects if he decides to run for president again.

For real. I read his speech. He seemed to be coming from the heart. When did politicians first responsibility turn to the party instead of the people?

""""standing up to Trump"""" by voting against the party line when it doesn't make a difference doesn't mean shit and it certainly doesn't excuse all of the shit he's done in the past.

Yeah. I'm glad he voted to remove, and I commend him for that little bit, but he's still an awful person

I'm one of the few that always liked Mittens a lot, but my goodness, won't he be over 80 by 2024? Fit for his age but I think the ship has sailed...

He doesn't even really deserve credit for that, since he knew full well his vote wouldn't matter and this shows it wasn't even going to be some career ending decision.

He'll be 76, which is still older than I would have guessed (I guess he holds his age well), but that puts him at around the same age as Bernie and Bloomberg are now.

Not to mention that, at least superficially, Romney seems to be in better shape than Biden or Bernie, so I don't see age being a prohibitive factor for him assuming that the GOP does return to sanity after Trump (which is sadly a long shot).

Hell, if you asked the average person, they'd probably assume he was in his mid-60s at most.
