Utah Gov. Spencer Cox isn't sure about backing former Pres. Donald Trump if Trump wins the Republican nomination in 2024.
But the first-term governor says Trump doesn't give the GOP the best chance to win the presidency, retake the Senate or increase its slim majority in the House.
Cox reiterated that Thursday. And though he threw out a few names, he didn't voice who he would get behind. Cox said he thinks Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis "has the best chance," adding he's outpolling Trump in many places across the country. He called former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who kicked off her presidential campaign Wednesday, "fantastic" and a candidate with an "incredible" resume.
