Utah Gov. Spencer Cox is set to debate his primary challenger Tuesday after he was recently booed by Republican convention delegates who argued the GOP incumben
FILE - Supporters of Utah state Rep. Phil Lyman , a candidate for governor, and other Republican delegates, boo incumbent Gov. Spencer Cox as he takes the stage at the Utah Republican Party Convention , April 27, 2024, in Salt Lake City. Cox and Lyman are set to dual on the debate stage, Tuesday, June 11, 2024.
Cox already had qualified for the June 25 primary before the April convention by gathering signatures. He is now looking to deliver his message to voters uninterrupted after going off-script to address his harsh reception from Republican delegates. Challengers for two of Utah's four congressional seats faced off Monday, followed by the four Republicans battling for the seat of retiring U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney. A crowded pool of candidates vying for the state's only open U.S. House seat will debate on Wednesday.
Utah's LGBTQ+ community has since criticized Cox for what some see as a drop-off in support now that he's facing reelection.
