Mitt Romney comments on age and leadership in 2028 presidential race

Mitt Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts and U.S. senator from Utah, expressed his belief that individuals aged 80 and older should not hold leadership positions in the country. He made these remarks during an interview on 'Deseret Voices' when asked about a potential run for president in 2028. Romney, who will turn 80 next year, stated he would 'love' to run again, adding, 'this time I might get it right. You know, third time's a charm.' He referenced the book 'The Body' by Bill Bryson, which discusses the effects of aging on the brain, and emphasized his view that people over 80 should not be in charge of running the country. Romney previously sought the GOP presidential nomination in 2008 and won it in 2012, losing to Barack Obama. He noted that Donald Trump recently turned 80, while Joe Biden, who left office last year at 82, was the oldest person to serve as president.
