Sen. Bob Bennett will throw his support behind Tim Bridgewater, one of the candidates who knocked the three-term incumbent from office, The Salt Lake Tribune has learned.
Multiple sources familiar with the discussions between Bennett and the Bridgewater camp, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter, confirmed that Bennett would formally endorse Bridgewater within the next few days.
The Bridgewater campaign would not confirm an endorsement is imminent.
Bennett declined to comment on Wednesday, but did not deny he would be backing Bridgewater, and hinted an announcement was forthcoming.
"I will delay commenting on that until there is a formal public comment," Bennett said.
