With the state Democratic party choosing not to run a candidate opposing Lee, observers say McMullin’s path to victory is a tightrope walk. He has to court progressives and liberals while at the same time appealing to Republican voters, hoping to draw them away from the two-term incumbent.

This Friday at 11 a.m., a panel of political experts will join us to breakdown the senate race and help us understand what’s motivating the Utah electorate in this uniquely intriguing midterm election.
