Romney Postpones Senate Race Announcement After School Shooting

Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and 2012 Republican presidential candidate, postponed announcing his plans for the Senate race in Utah in the wake of a deadly shooting at a Florida high school on Wednesday.

“As a father and grandfather, my heart aches for the victims of today’s tragic events,” Romney said in Twitter postings on Wednesday night. “Out of respect for the victims and their families, I will not be making an announcement tomorrow about the Senate race.”
