At Tuesday's primary election, Utah Republican will elect a nominee to run in the 2024 general election to replace Mitt Romney in the U.S. Senate.
Early, unofficial results published after Utah’s polls closed showed Curtis was leading GOP delegate-endorsed candidate Trent Staggs.
Those numbers brought a big cheer from the several hundred Curtis supporters who stood in the sweltering heatBrad Wilson, the former Utah House speaker, and Moxie Pest CEO Jason Walton poured millions of dollars from their own wallets into their campaigns. Outside groups spent several million dollars on ads and mailers backing Curtis’ efforts.
“It looks to me like there’s this banner waving over the state of Utah that says U.S. Senate seats for sale. I don’t think that’s right, and I don’t think the people of Utah appreciate that,” Wilson told reporters following a televised debate earlier this month. While Staggs received outside support from a super PAC linked to Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, he leaned hard into collecting endorsements, hoping that would be enough to get him over the finish line. The most prominent endorsement for Staggs came from former President Donald Trump, coming just hours before his victory at April’s GOP nominating convention. Trump reiterated his support for Staggs in a video posted to social media on Saturday.
