As he led a crowd of picnicking families in the “YMCA” dance, Trent Staggs gleefully waved a “Utah for Trump” flag at a recent campaign rally — one more not-so-subtle reminder to voters that he is backed by the former president in the race to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney.
That endorsement propelled Staggs, who was little known outside the Salt Lake City suburb he leads, to victory at the state's Republican convention in April, where delegates lean far-right. But his credentials with Donald Trump's “Make America Great Again” movement may not be enough to win Tuesday's primary, when Utah's more muted GOP electorate gets its say.
The election will determine whether the state wants another moderate conservative like Romney — U.S. Rep. John Curtis is considered the front-runner in the race — or a farther-right candidate more willing to fall in line with Trump. The vote could have larger implications for how Utah fits in with the evolving dynamics of the national Republican Party, which the former president has largely reshaped in his own image.

Curtis voted for the J6 committee. I hope Utah rejects him on Tuesday.
IMHO Utah owes the party after what Romney turned out to be.
Utah’s mail-in ballots are printed by private companies and some have had screw-ups
NEVER ELECT A CLIMATE FREAK!!! They will take away your GAST STOVE, WATER, CARS, ETC!! They are DANGEROUS!
Curtis is at true believer of “Climate Change” the scam.
Utah votes for magic underwear uber alles, every time.
“moderate conservative like Romney”
I believe Mittens characterized himself as “severely conservative” (or some such phony designation).
Normal people are the true minority.
Utah is mostly red rock....... spectacular red rock, butred rock non the less.
What can climate change do to harm red rock?
In other words, Curtis is the Democrat.
I concur.
Seems to be so.
Hannah, typically, doesn't get it - or maybe is just intentionally insulting.
Hannah - I am MAGA
“moderate conservative like Romney”
LOL!
Pierre Delecto is not running? How will his legacy of being the worst GOP turncoat in US history be sustained? ?
excerpt:
Moore switched to an Arizona-based vendor this year and is so far happy with the results. “If there really was [another] crisis,” she said, “I can drive to Phoenix and pick stuff up and and be back within 24 hours if I had to.”

Duchesne county in NE Utah driving to print shop in Phoenix, AZ?

climate focused = marxist
“Pierre Delecto is not running? How will his legacy of being the worst GOP turncoat in US history be sustained? ?”
Easy. By getting a similar liberal Republican nominated, then elected.
The Mormon mafia is extremely liberal.
Hmmm...He has a few in the competition: Mitch McConnell, Lowell P. Wackjob of Connecticut who wanted to impeach Nixon and was the worst Governor of Connecticut after Joe Lieberman beat him for Senate.
