Source: New York Magazine

So says Utah senator Orrin Hatch, whose retirement rumors sparked speculation that Romney would take another crack at landing a job in D.C.

“I’ve talked to Mitt Romney. He’s not going to run for this seat. I would be glad for him if he would,” Hatch told the website UtahPolicy this week. “I’ve chatted with Mitt, and he’s not going to run for the Senate,” he added.

It is real simple to understand. When Trump had several entities placed into bankruptcy, he becqme persona non grata to New York lending institutions and readonable interests rates.
