With many hoping the unofficial start of summer also means a return to a more normal life after COVID-19, the effort to vaccinate Utahns shifts away from mass vaccination sites.
Collins Condemns GOP Attacks Against Cheney and Romney: ‘I Was Appalled’
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) on Sunday defended fellow Republicans Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyoming) against intraparty attacks driven by the duo’s push to impeach former President Donald Trump, who continues to command unwavering loyalty among much of the GOP.
Collins, who, like Romney, voted “yes” on a Senate motion in February to convict Trump on the charge of “incitement to insurrection,” complained to CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” that her fellow Republicans booed Romney at the Utah GOP state organizing convention.
SALT LAKE CITY Utah Gov. Spencer Cox told the 1,904 delegates in attendance at the Utah Republican Party s Organizing Convention on Saturday that they need to spend more time volunteering and coming together.
Cox, and Sen. Mitt Romney received boos and obvious disapproval at moments from some in attendance, and Romney survived a censure vote by delegates. But throughout the day the call from them and other Republican leaders was the need to unify the party in both message and behavior to withstand challenges from the left.
They then followed 8 hours of speeches and delegate work with the selection of Carson Jorgensen, 31, a sheep farmer, as the party s new chairman, beating three other candidates, including veteran Stewart Peay, who some had pegged as the favorite going into the convention.
