Will Mitt Romney make a bid for the Senate in Utah? No official word

Will Mitt Romney make a bid for the Senate in Utah? No official word yet, but his Twitter account on Tuesday was updated to note he calls the Beehive State home. Romney is also now registered to vote in Utah. Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah announced his intention earlier in the day to retire at the end of his current term, and in so doing left open a race to replace him. Romney's Twitter account's pin location was updated to Holladay, Utah. Romney -- a former Massachusetts governor, the 2012 GOP presidential candidate against President Obama and a chief conservative critic of President Donald Trump during the 2016 election -is considered a top possible contender.

In Other News n n n Already, there have been 11 cold-related deaths, and much of the nation is now due to stay in the deep freeze through the weekend. Now, the East Coast will have to deal with what meteorologists are calling a "winter hurricane" (it's technical name is interesting: "bombogenesis. ") It will bring hurricane-force winds and snow. It will start in Florida, where residents of places like Tallahassee -- which hasn't seen measurable snow in almost 30 years -- could get as much as an inch of snow and ice today. Coastal Georgia and the Carolinas will get some snow, too, before the storm plows up to the Northeast. The world's most powerful man ignited a new showdown with North Korea late Tuesday, as Donald Trump boasted to volatile leader Kim Jong Un that he had a "much bigger & more powerful" nuclear weapon. "Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!" Trump tweeted. Other US presidents have privately considered the use of nuclear weapons since Harry Truman unleashed atomic warfare on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end World War II in 1945. But before Trump, no US President has made such public and cavalier threats. Trump's comments are risky since it may alienate US allies, anger key world powers like Russia and China that Washington needs to resolve the standoff and because no one knows how the unpredictable Kim will respond. A new set of demonstrators hit the streets in Iran -- pro-government counterprotesters. These protesters waved Iranian flags and held signs voicing support for the government and its rulers. This comes after a week of anti-government demonstrations across the country, sparked by economic concerns and overall dissatisfaction with the government. These latest demonstrations are not a total surprise, since counter-protests are a common reaction to dissent against the government there. More than 20 people have died in the demonstrations, and more than 450 people have been arrested.
