Republican Utah Gov. Spencer Cox is expected to easily win reelection in the deeply red state. But his surprising choice to back Donald Trump this year has voters wondering what they should expect over the next four years from a leader they long thought to be a moderate Republican.

Utahns reacted to Donald Trump's victory in the presidential race. Republican elected officials celebrated the news on X, while others expressed disbelief and pessimism.
