Utah is now the epicenter of the political divide its governor warned about
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, the Republican face of depolarization and bridgebuilding, is asking a “broken nation” for peace following a horrific act of violence in his state.
Last week, during an event at the National Press Club, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore quoted a common rule for governors: “If you have not faced a tragedy,” Moore said, “just give it a second. Yours is on its way.”
Moore’s tragedy was the Key Bridge collapse last year, he said. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, sitting next to Moore, shook his head and offered his condolences. “I haven’t had to face anything quite like that,” Cox noted.
