With less than a month until Election Day, the fight over crucial Latter-day Saint votes in Arizona and Nevada is heating up.

Donald Trump Jr. visits Utah: The oldest child of the former president and current Republican nominee, Trump Jr. and his fiancee, Kimberly Guilfoyle, spent the weekend on a hunting trip at Utah House Speaker Mike Schultz’s ranch in Morgan County.

A key aspect of his visit involved meeting with officeholders and political figures to “strategize” about Latter-day Saint turnout in the two Western battleground states in between sessions of the Church's General Conference.

He also used the visit as an opportunity to fortify ties with prominent Utah Republicans, including Schultz, Utah Republican Party Chair Rob Axson, and former Utah Speaker of the House Greg Hughes.

Harris expands Latter-day Saint outreach: Before Monday, Harris’ outreach to Latter-day Saints focused on Arizona, where she launched an advisory committee in September.
