Utah Governor Spencer Cox reveals in his new book that he called a Democratic colleague for advice in the hours after conservative activist Charlie Kirk's assassination, the Salt Lake Tribune reports. The disclosure appears in Cox's book *Off Ramp*, which examines his "disagree better" campaign and his role navigating the national crisis.

Cox describes the immediate aftermath of the Turning Point USA founder's killing and the decisions he made while addressing the public. He also reflects on which high-profile moments he regrets and what he considers wins in his bipartisan civility effort.

The book offers an inside account of one of the most politically charged events in recent American history and Cox's response as a Republican governor who has positioned himself as a bridge-builder.
