Fox News
Evan McMullin, a former CIA officer and longshot 2016 independent candidate for president, on Tuesday launched a campaign for the Senate in Utah, in an uphill attempt to oust conservative Sen. Mike Lee in the 2022 midterm elections.
McMullin won 21% of the vote in Utah in the 2016 presidential election, but captured less than half a percent support nationally. McMullin, a vocal critic of former President Trump, is one of the leaders of a group of former and current Republicans who are trying to push back against Trump’s continued dominance of the GOP.
"The extremes in Washington don’t represent Utah. They prevent us from governing ourselves, and they jeopardize our democracy. The result is crisis after crisis that never gets solved." McMullin argued in campaign launch video. He stressed that he would run for the Senate not "as a Republican or a Democrat, but as a patriot committed to defending our nation."
