Trump baffles allies with endorsement of long-shot Utah candidate

The Hill ^
| 5/7/24 | Al Weaver
Former President Trump’s allies fear the former president has given a boost to the moderate wing of the GOP in Utah by backing a long-shot conservative candidate in the race to replace retiring Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah). Trump endorsed Trent Staggs shortly before the Utah GOP convention last month. Voters
will formally choose their nominee in the June 25 primary. Staggs has shown few signs of viability as he struggles to raise money and gain traction in the polls, sparking fears among some Trump-aligned Republicans that the endorsement could splinter conservative voters and put Rep. John Curtis (R-Utah), the more...

A new Utah amendment set to take effect on May 1 will prevent children from being assigned “do not resuscitate” (DNR) status without parental consent. Under

However, a message circulated by the administration to promote respect and tolerance was wildly misinterpreted. The
school’s intent to foster “Outstanding behavior might demonstrate curiosity, understanding, patience and tolerance,” as Sorenson conveyed, was lost amid social media speculation and sensationalism. A Change.org petition titled “Students for Humans at School, not animals aka furries,” demanding the school ban furry costumes, gained traction despite the district’s clarification that no such costumes were worn or allowed at the school. Conservative social media personalities and local political figures stoked the flames. For instance, Adam Bartholomew, a radio host whose wife is running for a...
