SALT LAKE CITY, Utah—Despite finishing third in the state’s 2016 primary and not campaigning in Utah since 2020, former President Donald Trump is projected to decisively defeat former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley in the 2024 ’Super Tuesday’ caucus clash here.

It is uncertain if he’ll secure the 50 percent plus of the March 5 tally needed to win all of Utah’s 40 delegates because some of the state’s conservatives still have concerns about his character and fitness to serve.
