Utah joins a growing number of Republican-led states to raise American flags to full-staff for President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration next week amid a monthlong period of mourning for the death of late Democratic President Jimmy Carter.

Utah Governor Spencer Cox has ordered U.S. flags originally lowered to honor former President Jimmy Carter to return to full staff for the inauguration of Donald Trump.

The president-elect had expressed concern that Democrats seemed happy to see the flag lowered during the inauguration ceremony despite the tradition of lowering flags after a president's death.
