Evan McMullin Is Not A Democrat. Utah Democrats Are Supporting His Senate Campaign Anyway.
Evan McMullin is a conservative running for U.S. Senate in Utah … with the backing of the state’s Democratic Party. He’s running as an Independent, and Democrats have thrown their support behind the former Republican to try and oust Sen. Mike Lee, an ally of former President Donald Trump who tried to help Trump overturn the 2020 election results. Back in July, I made this video profile to explore McMullin’s background and look at whether his coalition of Democrats, anti-Trump Republicans and independents in Utah could actually bring him to Washington, D.C. Now it’s Election Day, and his chances seem slim — Lee is the clear favorite, according to the FiveThirtyEight forecast.
