Malin, who voted for Trump in 2016 and for Romney in 2018 and plans to support both again, said that Romney had been a topic of conversation among her family and friends, but the outrage coming from Washington did not square with the discussions she was having at home.

“It’s surprising because it seems like the louder voice says he’s betrayed the party, he’s betrayed the people of Utah,” she said. “But the people in my circle don’t feel that way.”

Alan Anderson, 41, a financial planner from Salt Lake City, supported Romney in 2018 and said he will probably vote for him again.

“I was fine with Romney — he had his reasons for it,” Anderson said of the vote. “Whether you agree or disagree with his reasons, at least he had the courage to say whatever he felt was right.”
