It is “incredible” to have an endorsement from former President Donald Trump, Utah Senate candidate Trent Staggs, Mayor of Riverton, Utah, said during an appearance on, describing it as the “one of the most valuable currencies” a candidate can have.
“It’s just incredible. I mean, huge. It’s something that I’ve been seeking for some time. You know, I came out and endorsed President Trump last summer just right near the beginning of my candidacy,” he said, noting that he had the stated goal of challenging now-outgoing Sen. Mitt Romney. “We ended up winning that, Matt, with 70 percent of the delegates there present. I mean, that is unprecedented. We’ve never seen an open Senate convention race in Utah that’s garnered more than 60 percent of the delegate vote, let alone 70 percent. And so quite, quite a huge impact to the campaign now that we’ve got that convention,” he said, noting that he still has one more hurdle: getting through the primary, as he does have challengers.
“That does require money,” he continued, noting that lobbyists and PACs are supporting his opponents, and he realizes that the establishment wants more swamp creatures.
