Utah’s Governor vs. the People | Salt Lake City News

Utah’s Governor Spencer Cox is trying to carve out a national reputation as a moderate Republican—complete with a book tour and a wild Daily Show appearance—but locals are skeptical, even staging protests to cancel his event. His on-air debate with Jon Stewart touched on conspiracy theories and “Fidelity Month,” while his endorsement of Trump undermines his peacemaker image. Meanwhile, Salt Lake City moves ahead with housing reforms, approving townhomes in single-family zones to tackle affordability and supply crunches. And amid all this, Utah re-enters the national spotlight for the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s death at UVU—with legal proceedings, a proposed death penalty, and campus tensions flaring as some Republicans celebrate by doxxing a student over a cake.
