Former Never Trump presidential candidate Evan McMullin is considering running for a Utah Congressional seat currently occupied by House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, a source close to him told The Daily Beast. Last month, in chat with supporters on Reddit, McMullin was asked whether he would run for Chaffetz’s seat in 2018. “It is likely that I will seek public office again,” McMullin responded. “It is possible that I will challenge Chaffetz or Senator Hatch, but there are a lot of factors that go into that decision.”
The source, who spoke with McMullin earlier today, said, “The comment he he gave in a recent Reddit AMA—that he is considering running but has not made a decision—is still accurate regarding his frame of mind.”
……
McMullin was born in Chaffetz’s congressional district, and also went to college there.
