At CNN, Lanhee Chen on Mitt Romney:
His profound sense of decency is one of the reasons why so many people care so much about the retirement of a man who’s been in the Senate for such a short time. He has been willing to do what he believes to be right — consequences be damned. Never shy to do what he feels is right, in his final months in the Senate, Romney will be even more unencumbered, untroubled by a future election campaign or the need to maintain a semblance of party unity. If he succeeds in moving the needle even a little on the issues he cares about, Romney’s grand finale — this time between now and his departure from the Senate in January 2025 — could be among the most consequential moments of a storied career.
