The daughter of Utah's former governor is now the co-host of one of MSNBC's shows.

Beginning Monday, July 29, Abby Huntsman will join Krystal Ball, Ari Melber, and Toure on "The Cycle," which airs Monday-Friday from 1-2 p.m. MT on the cable channel.

If you've caught any of Huntsman's appearances on TV or online, you know that she's sharp and poised. She seems like a natural for this gig.

She is, of course, the daughter of Jon Huntsman Jr., the former Utah governor/ambassador to China/GOP presidential candidate.
