Why Evan McMullin Hopes the Mountain West Holds the Future of Conservatism
TIME’s Elizabeth Dias reports on Evan McMullin, an independent candidate for president. The Mormon candidate has a slim chance of winning the election, but a recent Emerson College poll has him winning Utah, leading Trump by four points and Clinton by seven. Dias writes, “Regardless of the outcome on November 8, McMullin hopes his candidacy sets a new foundation for conservatism in America. He wants to see conservatives be inclusive, ‘open to people of all races and religions and people of both genders,’ appealing to women, minorities, and millennials as it outlined its post-election report in 2012.”
