Republican Mike Lee Defeats Never-Trumper Evan McMullin In Utah Senate Race

Utah Republican Mike Lee has actually won the Utah Senate race, beating never-Trump prospect Evan McMullin.

This was a race that had some Republicans worried a couple of weeks earlier, however Mike Lee pulled it out.

McMullin would have been a catastrophe for Republicans.

Breitbart News reports:

Sen. Mike Lee Wins Reelection, Defeats Never Trumper Evan McMullin

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) won reelection on Tuesday night, beating Never Trumper and Utah independent Senate prospect Evan McMullin, according to forecasts.

Fox News called the race in favor of Lee, who will enter his 3rd term.

Unlike many states, Lee did not take on versus a Democrat as his main challenger. Rather, he had independent prospect McMullin. Rather of pressing their own prospect, the Utah Democrat Party backed McMullin’s quote to oust Lee rather of their own.

Lee and others have actually regularly slammed McMullin for his relaxing ties with the Democrat Party, that includes utilizing the Democrat fundraising tool ActBlue, fundraising with Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT), and fundraising with leftist activists such as Alyssa Milano. McMullin has actually even paid over $1.9 million to Democrat operatives to perform his project.

This is why Lee has actually implicated McMullin of feeding the “Democrat commercial complex.”

Even though he has actually vowed that he would stay independent in the Senate if he were chosen, Lee and others have actually forecasted that he would have caucused with the Democrats if he were chosen.

This is a substantial relief.
