In the Utah Republican primaries, several key races have been decided. Governor Spencer Cox has secured the Republican nomination for governor, defeating challenger Phil Lyman, who has refused to concede and called for an independent audit of the results. Cox led with a 63%-37% margin in early vote counts. In the race to replace Senator Mitt Romney, Representative John Curtis emerged victorious, defeating a Trump-endorsed opponent. Curtis's win is seen as a sign that his brand of Utah conservatism resonates with voters. Curtis led his opponent by a 2-to-1 margin early in the count. Additionally, incumbent Representative Blake Moore won the GOP primary for Utah's 1st Congressional District, while Mike Kennedy secured the nomination for the 3rd Congressional District with 36.04% of the vote. The Associated Press has called these races, confirming the victories of Cox, Curtis, and Moore.
Incumbent lawmakers fared well in Utah’s 2024 primary election. But these two will likely lose. https://t.co/XDKUs6RqRX
In a new video, Lyman also called GOP primary winner Gov. Spencer Cox a “weasel” and “Gavin Newsom 2.0,” referring to the Democratic governor of California. https://t.co/LBnsI0VGbr
