Episode Details

Utah State Representative Karianne Lisonbee is gaining momentum in her primary challenge against incumbent Congressman Blake Moore for the new second congressional district. With endorsements from 37 House Republicans, including leadership, and 5 state senators, Lisonbee is demonstrating strong conservative support. A longtime Davis County resident and former House majority whip, Lisonbee has a solid record on tax cuts, election security, and government transparency. Her support highlights growing discontent with Moore among the GOP base, particularly over his role in a 2018 gerrymandering push that could risk handing Democrats a win in deep-red Utah. Despite backing from President Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, Moore faces increasing unrest in the ranks, with Lisonbees momentum signaling potential divides within the Republican Party. As the primary heats up, this northern Utah showdown could indicate how Republicans heal divides and maintain control, with Lisonbee positioning herself as the true local conservative voice.
