Huntsman is reportedly considering a 2020 run for governor of Utah, his home state.
The former Utah governor served roughly two years in the diplomatic post, during a time when the U.S. experienced turbulent relations with Russia. On Tuesday, he sent President Donald Trump a resignation letter and announced that he plans to return to his home state in October.
“I hold both countries responsible,” Trump told reporters when asked whether he held Russia accountable for anything in particular. “I think the United States has been foolish,” he said. “I think we’ve all been foolish. I think we’re all to blame.” “For the president, the challenges are certainly there, but I think he is genuinely looking forward to sitting across the table and trying to reduce the tension in a relationship where our collective blood pressure is off-the-charts high,” Huntsman told Fox News in July 2018.
“Huntsman is going to have higher name ID, a stronger record to run on and, of course, the money to back him up,” Miller said of a potential Huntsman run. “He wouldn’t have to raise a dime. That’s hard to beat.”
