“Utah Republican voters have spoken tonight, and they had a choice,” SenMikeLee told the crowd during his acceptance speech. “They made the choice for freedom.”

Glen Beck says a few words to the crowd, at Sen. Mike Lee's election party at Awaken Event Center, onTuesday, June 28, 2022.

Lee’s victory was so complete, he won every county that reported election results on Tuesday night. In the rural areas, Lee racked up big margins over Edwards and Isom. He also prevailed in several counties where Edwards was expected to do well, like Salt Lake, Davis and Weber.The results set up what could be one of the most competitive U.S. Senate races Utah has seen in decades, but not because of any newfound love for the Democratic Party in deep-red Utah.

This was Lee’s first primary election since his first campaign in 2010.

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Becky Edwards dances with her mother, Barbara Price, and mother-in-law Patti Edwards , at her primary election night party in Salt Lake City's Sugar House Park on Tuesday, June 28, 2022.

Edwards and Isom were outgunned financially by Lee, who has raised $6.5 million so far for his reelection campaign.
