The Utah Republican Party is set to select a nominee in the race to replace Mitt Romney in the U.S. Senate at its annual convention
A dozen Utah Republicans vying to replace Mitt Romney in the U.S. Senate are set to square off Saturday for the party nomination in a race expected to reveal the brand of political conservatism that most appeals to modern voters in the state. Romney has long been the face of the party's more moderate wing, and observers are closely watching whether voters select a successor whose politics align more with the retiring senator's or Utah’s other U.S.
While Trump has made inroads in the state party, he has long been unpopular among members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, widely known as the Mormon church, who make up about half of the state’s 3.4 million residents. Curtis, 63, has actively tried to distance himself from Trump, and even Romney, promising to forge his own path in the Senate.
