Mia Love says she might have to run against McAdams if Republicans can’t recruit a strong candidate

Now a commentator with CNN after losing one of the tightest congressional races in the nation last year, Love told the Deseret News she’s considering a rematch against first-term Rep. Ben McAdams, largely because she doesn’t think any of the Republican challengers who have stepped forward so far can unseat the Democrat.

“If I don’t have to get in the race, I won’t,” she told the News.

Love did not respond to multiple requests for comment from The Tribune. But several sources close to the former two-term congresswoman, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Love is seriously weighing her options but at present is unlikely to run in 2020.
