Utah Gov. Spencer Cox Pledges to Vote Against Donald Trump, Then, Seconds Later, Endorses Doug Burgum for VP
Breitbart ^ | 07/12/2024 | HANNAH KNUDSEN

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) pledged on Wednesday to vote against former President Donald Trump, then endorsed North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R) for a vice presidential pick just seconds later.

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked Cox if he would vote for Trump as the party’s nominee, but he said he has not voted for a Republican candidate at the top of the ticket since 2012.

“I haven’t voted for the top of the ticket since 2012. I’ve certainly had my concerns. One of those is what happened on January 6. I’m hopeful. I want my party to win. They chose a candidate this time around that was not my first choice,” he said of Trump, making it clear Trump was not his first choice in 2020, either.

Very kind of them to let Trump know who to avoid.

Yup, shows Trump one pick to avoid... And I’m glad. I’ve had quite enough of the Mike Pence rino types.

The last seven mayors of Salt Lake belong to the Rat party. The same university, union and urban malady that infects other red states...

Burgum was a nobody from a national perspective. Trump, on his own, brought him the the forefront.

He said he wouldn’t vote for Trump but somehow thinks that he gets a say in who runs with Trump on the ticket? Is this guy stupid or arrogant? I’m guessing large portions of both.

Makes me wonder why Spencer and Rove are trying to kill Burgum off as choice. Burgum is likely more in line with them than with MAGA.

I hope Trump’s staff is bringing this to his attention.

Utah, like Texas and other red states, is loaded with RINOs because Democrats know they can’t win, so they run as Republicans.
