A new biography on Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) hit store shelves this week, and it has a lot of people talking.

"Romney: A Reckoning," by McKay Coppins, sits on the shelf at The King's English Bookshop in Salt Lake City, Utah on Tuesday, October 24, 2023. One of the biggest political stories in the country is centered right here in Utah.

“The subtitle of the book is 'a reckoning,' and I really think that that captures what Senator Romney has been going through over the last couple years,” said Coppins, a journalist with The Atlantic and a graduate of Brigham Young University, in an interview with KUTV 2News. “He’s really grappling with how he might be complicit, at least in part, in this kind of precarious moment in American politics.

Romney has represented Utah in the U.S. Senate since 2019 but recently announced he will leave office after his term is over in January 2025Asked what Romney’s legacy would be as he moves into retirement, Coppins chuckled at first.
