While county clerks around the state are still counting some ballots, the results of many races are in. Pres. Donald Trump will be returning to the White House in January and Utah voters have given Gov. Spencer Cox another four years to lead the Beehive State. Our expert panel evaluates what messaging resonated with the electorate, which demographics played a decisive role, and what the results tell us about the priorities of Utahns.

In this episode, host Jason Perry is joined by Saige Miller, politics reporter with KUER - Thomas Wright, Utah businessman and former Republican Party leader - and Scott Howell, the former minority leader in the Utah State Senate.
