Jamaal Bowman may be the first member of the Squad group of progressive Democrats to be ousted from office
Utah is one of those deep-red bastions in the United States, where the winner of the Republican primary is seen as almost certain to win the general election. That makes today’s primaries in the state all the more important, as they pit candidates aligned with Donald Trump against those who are less friendly to the former president, and could frustrate his agenda, should he return to the White House.
The race for its Senate seat is perhaps the most important of the day, as it will determine whether Republican senator and Trump foe Mitt Romney, who is retiring, is replaced by moderate congressman John Curtis, or one of several challengers who have vowed to support the ex-president’s preferred policies. Curtis is perhaps most notable for being one of the few Republicans in Congress who supports some measures to fight the climate crisis.
