Dozens of Republican lawmakers in Utah have thrown their support behind a likely challenger to Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney.
The Republican senator has faced declining poll numbers in the state and already has a primary challenger in the form of Riverton Mayor Trent Staggs. Romney has not announced his intent to seek reelection.
Should he do so, he may face a formidable opponent in Speaker of the House Brad Wilson, who has formed a committee to explore a Senate bid against him, Fox News reported. That prospective bid, per the committee, has already earned the support of three-quarters of the state House's Republicans and two-thirds of GOP state senators. The outlet put the figure at more than 60 state lawmakers.
"I am honored and encouraged to have the support of so many leaders from all corners of this great state. Utah needs a bold, conservative fighter in the U.S. Senate and I am humbled at the support and encouragement we’ve received so quickly," Wilson said.

“Possibly some good news here! ”
Hopefully, that POS needs to be sent away.
I hope Romney gets defeated in the next election.
This is important: one and only one challenger. Vote splitting has is a scourge.
Speaker of the House Brad Wilson supported by
* 67% of GOP state senators.
* 75% of GOP state House reps.
Utah State Senate:
Republican 23
Democrat 6
Total 20
67% of 23 = 15
Utah House of Representatives:
Republican 58
Democrat 17
Total 75
75% of 58 = 44
Looks like Wilson has a lock on both houses. Will that carry over to the electorate?
Great News!
“This is important: one and only one challenger. Vote splitting has is a scourge.”
This.
The GOP Establishment will not be split. Romney is their guy. But they will be eagerly looking to split the Conservative vote.
Do they have open primaries in Utah? If so, between the church and leftists I worry he will get back in.
Are these challengers conservative, do we know?
Romney’s behavior is best understood when his sons relationship with Hunter Biden’s web in Ukraine and Romania is considered. Romney’s, Kerry’s and Pelosi’s sons were all involved with the corruption.
Which is precisely why the Uniparty will run at least two other 'conservatives.' It's straight from the old playbook.
Conservatives: get behind one true conservative candidate early and stick with them.
Ten bucks says he’d run as 3rd Party to ensure a Rat victory.
To learn what a weaselly financial pirate is one Willard Romney, check out the 2012 Rolling Stone article...”Greed and Debt_ The True Story of Mitt Romney and Bain Capital” (search and ye shall find.).
Romney’s gotta go. Then we need to primary Mike “I want 500 million Indian immigrants for big tech” traitor Lee.
The problem here, is the foolish “Count My Vote” deal Utah was suckered into voting into place. The Republican convention will choose a candidate. It won’t be Romney. So Romney and some other person will both go out and get signatures to appear on the ballot with the person the Party chose. 30% will vote for the Party candidate in the primary. 30% will vote for the other signature-gathering candidate. 40% will vote for Romney. So Romney will get in with 60% of the state hating his guts. (The primary election is all that matters in Utah—the winner there is the shoo-in, because the Democrats don’t win such things.)
What about the Flip Atty. General? He’d be better.
Hopefully we will be rid of Judas Romney..
To think I actually voted for this 2 faced coward when he ran for president
Why did they let that carpet bagger ‘S-head’ run out there
in the first place?
It was so clear what he was going to turn into over time.
John McCain’s second foster child after Lindsey Graham.
