Utah governor says GOP should nominate a governor in ’24

Utah Republican Gov. Spencer Cox informed “Meet the Press” on Sunday that “I might love a governor” to be the GOP nominee for president.

Cox did not state a most well-liked candidate, however he showered reward on the governors introduced up in speedy succession in the course of the interview.

• On New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu: “Sununu’s incredible.”
• On Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis: “Nice report.”
• On former Arkansas Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson: “Asa’s a great pal.”
• “All incredible,” he mentioned after South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem was talked about.

Cox did rule out one governor working for president in 2024 — himself.

After New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy, who joined Cox on “Meet the Press,” mentioned he needed to see Cox run, the Republican replied “that’s positively not taking place.”

“I’m working for re-election.”
