Special Session with Bryan Schott

CD1 debate preview, the data center backlash and why Utah’s televised debates are broken


Listen Later

The four Democrats running for Utah's 1st Congressional District take the stage Wednesday night for the only televised debate of the primary, and Bryan has thoughts, mostly skeptical ones, about the format.

He breaks down the dynamics and strategy: why Nate Blouin, Liban Mohamed and Michael Farrell all need to attack Ben McAdams while simultaneously fighting each other for the progressive lane. Bryan also explains why Blouin's plan to commission a poll and drop out if he's not the top progressive is, in his view, a political stunt—especially since the ballots are already printed.

Plus: why the Kevin O'Leary/Box Elder data center has become a surprisingly potent issue heading into the primary, what it means for Senate President Stuart Adams' re-election race, and why Speaker Mike Schultz is trying to distance himself as fast as possible.
