Is there a reason to expect this republican to hold views that differ significantly from the rest of the party?

Fun anecdote: Utah's Republicans actually rejected the MAGA candidates in the Republican primary for both Senator and Governer by a wide margin, despite the MAGA candidates having Trump's endorsement. If nothing else, Utah doesn't vote MAGA-or-bust like some other states have been.

Interesting. Alright then maybe there is a possibility. Thanks for sharing!
