The winning carried over into Utah, where Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) will square off against Never Trumper Evan McMullin, an independent candidate, in the general election after winning his renomination bid. Rep. Chris Stewart (R-UT) won the race for the Republican nomination in the Second Congressional District, and Rep. Burgess Owens proved victorious in the Fourth Congressional District.
