Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) “has turned down an opportunity to participate in a nationally televised, Fox News-hosted debate with independent challenger Evan McMullin,” the Salt Lake Tribune reports.
“While Lee has made several individual Fox News appearances over the past several weeks to drum up support for his unexpectedly close reelection bid and to attack his opponent, the senator declined the opportunity to appear on the national program alongside his competition.”
