Governor Cox's Path to National Unity | Salt Lake City News

Utah Governor Spencer Cox’s new book “Off Ramp” calls for a national reckoning on anger and division, fueled by his urgent push to prevent political violence. After a harrowing assassination attempt on Trump in July 2024, Cox penned a heartfelt letter thanking the president for surviving—and urging him to lead with unity, invoking scripture and Lincoln’s legacy. Surprisingly, Trump responded warmly, pledging support for Cox’s ambitious $1 billion plan to save the drying Great Salt Lake. Though past efforts bridging divides with both Trump and Biden hit snags, Cox sees peacemaking as a long game—one his book aims to advance, inviting others to find their better angels and rebuild America together.
