Utah's Republican Gov. Spencer Cox wins reelection after unexpectedly endorsing Donald Trump

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

33% : Trump, who expectedly won Utah and its six electoral votes on Tuesday, did not in turn endorse Cox's reelection bid.
24% : After Trump's staff had an altercation with a cemetery official, Cox broke rules -- and likely federal law -- in using a graveside photo with Trump in a campaign fundraising email in August.
21% : Cox suddenly endorsed Trump after the July assassination attempt on the former president at a Pennsylvania rally.
21% : The governor also appeared with Trump on the campaign trail and at Arlington National Cemetery, where each politician was ensnared in a controversy.
13% : He reaffirmed his commitment to Trump in September even as the former president faced scrutiny for ramping up rhetoric against immigrants -- behavior Cox had said he hoped Trump would abandon when he endorsed him in July.
7% : He wrote in a letter of support that he believed Trump could save the country "by emphasizing unity rather than hate."He had previously voiced criticism about Trump, saying the then-president's role in inciting the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol went too far.
