Utah GOP Senate Primary to Define Post-Romney Republicanism

Debates among four candidates spotlight the state's political future and Trump's influence.

  • Rep. John Curtis, Riverton Mayor Trent Staggs, and former House Speaker Brad Wilson lead the race.
  • Curtis, a moderate, faces off against Trump-endorsed Staggs and conservative Wilson.
  • Romney remains neutral, wary of affecting the primary's outcome.
  • Polls show Curtis as the favorite, but Staggs and Wilson are gaining support.
  • The primary winner will likely secure victory in the general election in the heavily Republican state.
