Good Monday morning from Salt Lake City
Thanks for reading Utah’s must-read daily political news rundown. Please encourage your friends and colleagues to sign up for our emails.
Here are the stories you need to pay attention to this morning:
- Utahns don’t think immigrant families should be separated.
- President Donald Trump claims China wants to make a deal on trade. China says they don’t know what he’s talking about.
- Former Rep. Joe Walsh announces a 2020 primary challenge to President Trump.
Trivia
Utah has never elected a governor who previously served in the U.S. House, which could change next year if Rep. Rob Bishop joins the 2020 gubernatorial contest. The other two states who have not elected a former Representative as governor are Arizona and Alaska.
Only two of our subscribers submitted a correct answer to this week’s stumper:
