Special Session with Bryan Schott

Five Days to Utah's Primary Election and Everyone's Losing It

Listen Later

With Utah's June 23 primary just days away, Bryan Schott breaks down the biggest storylines:

  • ICE detention warehouse update: New NYT reporting says DHS is looking to offload the SLC warehouse it overpaid for.
  • Trump endorses Moore, Malloy, Kennedy: Predictable picks spark a meltdown among Phil Lyman supporters who'd convinced themselves Trump would back Lyman.
  • CD3: Malloy vs. Lyman: Why this race is closer than it looks: 60% of the district has never seen Malloy on a ballot, Lyman's base is more energized, but his campaign is missing basic blocking-and-tackling — including a still-unfiled federal financial disclosure.
  • Stuart Adams' money machine: A breakdown of how his own leadership PAC funneled $110K into his own primary, plus campaign-cash spending on a steakhouse dinner in NYC.
  • Legislative primary cash flood: $1.5M+ raised across 22 contested races.
  • Open primary mechanics: How non-Democrats can still request a ballot in the CD1 Democratic primary, and why Republicans could "mess with" that race if they organized.
  • Trump vs. vote-by-mail: Trump's Truth Social attack on Utah's mail ballots, and Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson's pointed rebuttal.
  • The press-pass lawsuit: New GRAMA numbers: the Legislature has spent $428,000 so far on outside lawyers fighting Bryan's First Amendment case...and counting.
  • Mark your calendar: Live election night coverage Tuesday, June 23 at 7:30 PM with David Nir of The Downballot.
