Buttigeig draws crowd of thousands for Salt Lake visit

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg has drawn several thousand people to a speech in Salt Lake City where he complimented Mitt Romney and unveiled another local endorsement. The Deseret News reports Buttigieg on Monday praised the senator for being “more concerned with his relationship with his conscience and with his maker” when he voted to remove President Donald Trump during his impeachment trial. He was introduced by Democratic Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall, who announced she was endorsing him. The mayor and district attorney of Salt Lake County have also endorsed Buttigieg.
