Mittens failed to receive an overwhelming majority at the Utah Convention, in fact he placed second behind a State Legislator, Mike Kennedy.
West Valley, Utah (CNN)Mitt Romney did not win the Utah Republican Party's nomination on Saturday, meaning he must compete in a June primary election as he seeks to replace retiring US Sen. Orrin Hatch.
After a wild and raucous day of voting at the Utah GOP convention, the former Massachusetts governor and 2012 Republican presidential nominee was unable to win the 60% that he needed to head to the November ballot unopposed. When none of the 12 candidates were able to cross that threshold, the party continued with successive rounds of caucus voting until one candidate reached 40%. On the second round of voting, Utah state representative Mike Kennedy emerged in the lead with 50.88%. Romney came in a close second with 49.12%.
Mittens thought he had an easy Anti-Trump seat, that he would simply receive upon request. Just got defeated by a state legislator at a convention. I imagine it will be worse at the ballot box, IF Utahns show up to the primary in any numbers.
