The most powerful senator in the country wants to know "what's wrong" with Utahns.
Majority Leader and Nevada Sen. Harry Reid tells The Salt Lake Tribune he's confounded by Utah's loyalty to Republicans.
He told the paper, "What is wrong with the people of Utah? They like where this president has taken this country?"
He even added that Utahns should wake up.
Reid pointed out that Democrats have made gains in other Western states, but Utah and Idaho remain largely Republican.
