Former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman said he’s weighing a run for the U.S. Senate in 2018, depending in part on whether fellow Republican Orrin Hatch decides to seek an eighth term.
“I’ve always said that I’ve got one more run left in our bones. And I don’t know what that will be. But I love this country,” Huntsman, 56, told co-hosts Scott Lanman and Daniel Moss on Bloomberg’s “Benchmark,” a weekly podcast on the global economy.
