Activist Grover Norquist, the founder of Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) and author of its "Taxpayer Protection Pledge," expressed confidence that Jon Huntsman, the former ambassador to China and Republican presidential candidate, would eventually sign the pledge promising not to raise taxes.

"I believe that if he's running for president as a Republican presidential candidate, he'll sign the pledge," Norquist told The Hill on Thursday in a brief phone interview.
