Utah governor reverses decision on Trump endorsement after shooting | 20 July 2024 | Utah Republican Gov. Spencer Cox on Friday gave former President Donald Trump an unexpected endorsement after the failed assassination attempt last weekend. Trump was targeted in a shooting at his Pennsylvania rally last Saturday, where he was wounded in his right ear. Two other people were critically injured in the shooting, and two people died, including the suspected gunman. Cox has been a major critic of the former president in the past, even stating as late as last week that he would not vote for either Trump or Joe Biden in the November election... Cox said part of the reason he changed his mind on supporting Trump was because of the former president's speech at the Republican convention on Thursday, where he called for unity in the country, and urged people to "lower the temperature."
