I assume he caucused with Republicans if he wins?
Yes, he'd he an improvement over Mike Lee marginally, but not someone for Democrats to care about.
I disagree. He may essentially be a Republican in all but name BUT he’d at least be a respectable one. He would never advocate for overthrowing American democracy. In the present timeline, that outweighs one’s politics.
All Democrats in the state should get behind him. He’s literally the only chance—however small it may be—of toppling a Trump Republican in the state.
