In the upcoming Senate election in Utah on November 5, 2024, Republican congressman John Curtis, 59, is a graduate of Brigham Young University and a former businessman, will be facing off against Democratic nominee Caroline Gleich, who studied at the University of Utah and works as an environmental activist. Curtis, aged 59, is looking to secure a seat in the Senate, while Gleich, aged 36, aims to bring her perspective to the political arena.
Currently, the United States Senate comprises 51 Democrats and 49 Republicans. In Utah, the population is 78% Non-Hispanic White, 16% Hispanic, 1% Black, 2% Asian, and 1% Native American.
Looking back at historical results, Utah has shown a strong Republican inclination. In the 2018 Senate election, Mitt Romney, who is not running for re-election, won by a significant margin of 31.7%. Furthermore, in the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump secured a victory with a margin of 20.5%. Given this, the upcoming Senate race in Utah is considered not competitive, with the state's political leaning favoring the Republican candidate.
