We just got the clearest sign yet that Mitt Romney is running for a Senate seat

  • Mitt Romney is making an announcement about running for Senate in two weeks.

  • All indications point toward a run from the former Massachusetts governor and presidential nominee.



Decision day for Mitt Romney comes on February 15.

On Thursday, Romney announced that in two weeks, he will make an announcement about jumping into the race. All signs point to a Romney run for the seat currently occupied by Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch, who announced his retirement earlier this year.

"Looking forward to making an announcement on February 15th about the Utah Senate race," Romney tweeted Thursday, along with a link to "mittromney.com."
