Utah Democratic Party votes to not nominate their own Senate candidate, but instead rally behind independent candidate Evan McMullin utpol
The Democrats chose not to nominate a candidate for U.S. Senate from their own party. Instead, they chose to join independent candidate Evan McMullin's coalition to challenge incumbent Sen. Mike Lee.
"I feel good. I feel like most Utahns are ready to make a change," McMullin said."I know we have far more in common than in difference.""It was loud and unpredictable, but I do think this process was important for our party," said Kael Weston, who was running as a Democrat."I’ve noticed that depending on who he talks to, he’s either the most liberal person I’ve ever met, or he’s the most right-wing conservative person I’ve ever met," said Dallas Guymon.
