Former Rep. Ben McAdams is projected to win the Democratic primary for Utah’s newly redrawn 1st Congressional District. CBS News and The Hill report that McAdams, a moderate Democrat who previously represented Utah’s 4th Congressional District from 2019 to 2021, faces three progressive challengers in the primary. Fox News similarly reports that McAdams defeats three rivals, characterizing the race as drawing substantial attention and campaign funding. According to Fox News, the contest drew about $4.6 million, while the other outlets focus on the challengers’ progressive profiles rather than totals. The Hill identifies one of McAdams’ opponents as progressive state Sen. Nate Blouin, along with two additional candidates. The Hill also notes that McAdams previously lost his reelection bid and that the seat has been redistricted, shaping the Democratic field. Decision Desk HQ is cited by The Hill for the projection. The sources agree that McAdams wins the Democratic nomination in Utah’s 1st District primary and moves on to the general election.
