Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah delivered his final Senate floor speech on Wednesday, emphasizing the importance of unity and bipartisan cooperation. Romney warned against those who seek to divide and replace love with hate, deride virtue, or debase the core values that underpin a nation's prosperity.
Romney's speech marked the conclusion of a distinguished career in public service that included serving as the governor of Massachusetts, a US senator from Utah, and two presidential bids, one of which saw him as the GOP's nominee in the 2012 election against President Barack Obama.
