Utah Democrats are still deciding whether to challenge Sen. Mike Lee in this year's election.
Many big name Democrats, including former Congressman Ben McAdams and Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson, are urging delegates to decline to nominate anyone at Saturday's state convention.
Mayor Wilson, who ran for U.S. Senate herself against Mitt Romney in 2018, argued that Democrats have a very difficult time winning a statewide race. That's why she is urging delegates and Democrats across Utah to get behind independent U.S. Senate candidate Evan McMullin. The mayor, who is arguably one of Utah's most powerful elected Democrats, said McMullin might vote with Republicans some of the time, but she feels he would be more responsive to Democrats than Sen. Lee is now.
McMullin said he supports the idea of Democratic party delegates not advancing a candidate because he is building a bipartisan coalition. "People say 'Well, Mike Lee’s got it made.' I think these incredibly anti-democratic text messages have just come out, where Mike Lee is literally asking the White House what to say has new voters focused on why we need to get beyond Mike Lee," Weston said.
