Calls for President Adams to Resign, Special Session Speculation
About this episode
President Adams is facing calls to resign from the base of his party after reporting by the Salt Lake Tribune that he influenced a law change that helped his granddaughter get a lesser charge for a sexual crime. As an 18-year-old, she was accused of having sex with a 13-year-old, a crime that would have amounted to rape because a 13-year-old cannot consent in Utah. Panelists Taylor Morgan and Leah Murray weigh in on whether the revelation will impact Adams' future in the Senate. President Trump says he wants to eliminate voting by mail nationwide, but Utah's Lt. Governor, Deidre Henderson, is pushing back, arguing that states have the right to choose how they conduct elections. Will anything change in Utah with voting by mail? And Utah lawmakers are expected to be called into a special legislative session in September. It's the Governor who sets that agenda, so what will be on it? Taylor, Leah, and Lindsay make their picks — fantasy draft style.
