Utah Gov. Spencer Cox puts an end to rumors of a 2028 presidential run with new book

Published



Gov. Spencer Cox (R-UT) is putting to rest speculation that he could seek the presidency in 2028, saying he is not running for president, vice president, or any other elected office as he promotes a new book urging people to de-escalate political disagreements.

“I’m not running for president or vice president or anything else. I’m not running for anything,” Cox said in an interview with Deseret News. “I do think that that’s important, both because it’s true I’m not, and, two, because I don’t want people to read the book through that lens.”
