One day after Donald Trump’s racked up a slew of Super Tuesday victories, former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney announced a Thursday event to talk about 2016.

The former Massachusetts governor is scheduled to address “the state of the 2016 presidential race” at the University of Utah, according to a statement.

The Hinckley Institute of Politics event is slated to start at 11:30 a.m. ET.

The announcement immediately kicked off speculation that Romney plans to jump into the Republican 2016 race, as Trump’s path to the party nomination becomes more and more clear.

Romney recently attacked the Republican frontrunner for not releasing his tax returns, an issue that dogged his presidential bid in 2012.
