• Five takeaways from Jon Huntsman's hearing to be ambassador to Russia

  19-09-2017 23:04
  1 • He seems to be a shoo-in for confirmation.Not a single senator on the Foreign Relations Committee raised any concerns with former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman as nominee for ambassador to Russia, and in fact, praise was flowing for his diplomatic skills — much of it coming from Democrats. Short of some surprise snafu or earth-shattering revelation, Huntsman will likely get a huge margin for confirmation or perhaps even a voice vote.2 • He could be confirmed by November.The Foreign
