Republican Primary Races Highlight Trump's Influence in Key States

The 2024 election landscape is shaping up with President Biden and Donald Trump securing their party nominations, setting the stage for a highly anticipated rematch. Key primaries across states like Utah, Colorado, and New York are underway, with significant attention on the GOP primary to replace retiring Senator Mitt Romney. Riverton Mayor Trent Staggs, backed by Trump, is facing off against moderate Rep. John Curtis, who is leading in the polls. The outcome of these primaries will test Trump's influence within the Republican Party, particularly in Utah. Additionally, Governor Spencer Cox, who has not endorsed Trump, is expected to prevail in the gubernatorial primary despite a challenge from Trump supporter Phil Lyman.
