Episode 48: Does the GOP need to break up with Donald Trump?
Manage episode 296347586 series 2945875
This week on the “Utah Politics” podcast, we discuss the future of the Republican Party and whether the GOP needs to break up with former President Donald Trump.
First, we speak with Evan McMullin. The former independent presidential candidate joined with 150 other Republicans to release a “Call for American Renewal,” urging the GOP to focus on issues like democracy, constitutional order and ethical government.
“It’s time to have a new conversation in America, and it shouldn’t be driven by personalities,” says McMulllin. “It should be driven by principles and ideas. I think Americans wat to get back to ideas and talk less about the personalities.”
Then we’re joined by Rep. Candace Pierucci, R-Riverton, who is one of the youngest members of the Utah Legislature. She says the party needs to find a way to end the divisiveness because there’s room for a wide range of conservative voices in the GOP.
