Time for Senator Chachi?
If Scott Baio is serious, there will be at least a “Candidate Chachi” in our future.
At a time he was still known as “former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney,” Romney easily won a Senate Seat in Utah in 2018. Romney has long had a reputation as a RINO among many Republicans, which would later be fueled by his constant clashes with President Donald Trump. Romney was the only Republican senator to vote to impeach Trump, voting for a conviction on abuse of power. He is the only Senator in history to cross party lines and vote to impeach a member of their own party.
Most recently he condemned President Trump for not conceding an election while legal battles are still ongoing, saying he can’t “imagine a more undemocratic action.” Ironically these calls for Trump to concede have disproportionately come from Democrats who themselves don’t seem to have conceded the 2016 election.
Those comments from Romney were the final straw for Baio, who says he’s now contemplating a move to Utah to play golf – and unseat Romney.
“Hey @MittRomney, beautiful golf courses in Utah……maybe I’ll move there, play a few rounds and unseat you,” tweeted Baio. “P.S. My wife is still waiting for her $2600 refund. Remember your wife canceled that Beverly Hills political luncheon fundraiser? But your campaign kept the money,” he added.

In 2018, Romney defeated his Democrat challengerĀ 62.6%-30.9% in the solid red state.
At the very minimum, Baio should be expecting an endorsement from President Trump should he choose to run.
