President Donald Trump has endorsed three incumbent Republicans running for Congress in Utah ahead of the primary election.
Utah voters head to the polls on Tuesday to nominate congressional candidates under a new map that created different congressional boundaries.
The new 2nd Congressional District in northwest Utah is the least changed of the state’s four districts. Moore faces a tough primary against state Rep. Karianne Lisonbee, who defeated Moore by an almost two-to-one margin in a nomination vote among delegates during April's state party convention.
Maloy currently represents the 2nd congressional district, which overlaps with the new 3rd congressional district. The massive, new district spans southern and eastern Utah.
Trump also threw his support behind Rep. Mike Kennedy in the race for Utah’s 4th Congressional District.
Kennedy served in both the Utah House of Representatives and the Utah Senate while he practiced family medicine. In January 2025, he was sworn in as a member of the United States House of Representatives, where he has pushed fiscal discipline, strengthening border security, and limiting federal overreach.
Kennedy is running unopposed for renomination in the newly drawn 4th congressional district, which overlaps mostly with Maloy’s current district on the western side of the state, not the eastern half that he currently represents.
For all three candidates in Utah’s congressional race, Trump stated that they have his "Complete and Total Endorsement," adding they would not let the voters down.
Republicans currently hold the majority in both chambers of Congress. In the Senate, Republicans hold a 53–47 majority, while the party has a razor-thin majority of 218 seats to the Democrats' 212, alongside one independent, in the House.
The primary will be held on June 23.
