Story

Four Utah Republicans are competing for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Mitt Romney. The primary debate will help determine which type of conservative appeals most to voters in the state. Trump's endorsement of a little-known mayor has influenced the race. The retirement of Romney, a moderate Republican, opens the door for candidates further to the right. The candidates include John Curtis, Trent Staggs, Brad Wilson, and Jason Walton. Staggs has garnered support from Trump and his allies. Curtis, a moderate, is favored in the primary. Wilson aims to soften federal regulations on detaining immigrants. The debate will shed light on the future direction of Utah politics.
