Huntsman has told friends in Utah that he is considering life after his tenure in Russia and he’s not sure what his future will hold, a sign his time as ambassador may be drawing to a close, according to a half dozen sources familiar with the conversations who spoke with The Salt Lake Tribune on the condition of anonymity.
Huntsman has been encouraged to consider a run for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Sen. Mike Lee in 2022 or to make a third run for governor, the seat he left in 2009, when it is up again next year.
