SALT LAKE CITY — President Donald Trump endorsed three Utah incumbents seeking reelection Thursday in a series of tweets.

Trump’s backing of Republican Reps. Chris Stewart and John Curtis and GOP Attorney General Sean Reyes comes as delegates in Utah cast votes Thursday through Saturday in the party’s online state convention.

All three officeholders face Republican challengers for the nomination.
