SALT LAKE CITY — Republican Utah Gov. Spencer Cox has won reelection, beating a Democratic state lawmaker to secure his second term in office.
The governor defeated Democrat Brian King, a trial lawyer and state representative who served for eight years as Utah’s House minority leader. Cox suddenly endorsed Trump after the July assassination attempt on the former president at a Pennsylvania rally. He wrote in a letter of support that he believed Trump could save the country “by emphasizing unity rather than hate.”
The governor has dug in his heels in the months since the endorsement, leading political observers to believe that his shift to the right might be more than an election-year stunt.
