Mia Love In Dire Straits!

Mia Love's family confirms her days are short.

Former Utah Republican lawmaker and first Black woman to represent the state is preparing for the end. She has Stage IV brain cancer and her daughter confirms that her mother is losing the battle. Now she is in hospice.

"Hello Friends, I’m Mia’s daughter Abigale. Many of you are aware that Mom has been fighting GBM brain cancer," Abigale wrote on her mother’s X account. 

Love was diagnosed in 2022 with glioblastoma, a brain tumor, and revealed her diagnosis in August 2023. 

Abigale added, "Sadly her cancer is no longer responding to treatment and the cancer is progressing. We have shifted our focus from treatment to enjoying our remaining time with her." 

Love told a church youth group in 2023 that when she went on a vacation in 2022, headaches she’d been having started to get worse. 

"As soon as we landed, I felt a headache come on," she told the group, according to KSL Radio. "When we went to the beach, the reflection of the sun on the water made the headache worse. My husband took me to the hospital." 

Doctors found a tumor, and she underwent surgery to remove 95% of it.

Mia Love came into the news as the first African American Republican woman to serve as a U.S. House member. Me and LaReyna covered her rise and fall.

Love who is a Haitian American who was born in New York City. She was elected mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah, in 2010, having previously served on its City Council. She spoke at the 2012 Republican National Convention. In 2012, she ran for Congress in Utah's 4th congressional district, losing narrowly to incumbent Democratic Party U.S. Representative Jim Matheson. 

She ran for Congress again and was elected in 2014, defeating Democratic opponent Doug Owens; she defeated Owens a second time to win re-election in 2016. 

Love is preparing for the end.

After losing re-election in 2018 in an upset to Democrat Ben McAdams by 694 votes, Love was hired by CNN as a political commentator in 2019.

Born Ludmya Bourdeau on December 6, 1975 in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. She is the daughter of Mary and Jean Maxime Bourdeau. At a time of political repression, her parents emigrated together from Haiti in 1973, leaving their two older children behind with family. Her father had been threatened by the Tonton Macoute, the secret police in Haiti, and her parents traveled to the United States on a tourist visa. They spoke no English when they arrived. Her father became a paint-company manager and her mother worked as a nurse.

Love's birth enabled her parents to gain a U.S. residency permit under an immigration law that favored immigrants from the Western Hemisphere who had a child born in the United States; the law expired in January 1976, just 25 days after Love's birth. They later became naturalized citizens.

Love favored repealing the Affordable Care Act, reducing federal subsidies towards healthcare, and putting caps on Medicaid spending.

I guess she gonna need it now that she is dying and her family can't afford paying for hospice.

After the tumor was revealed to be malignant, Love began chemotherapy, radiation treatments and, eventually, immunotherapy. 

Love, who had previously converted from Catholicism to the Church of Jesus Church of Latter-day Saints, told CNN last year she was "looking for a cure in my faith and science." 

The former Arizona senator and 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain was also diagnosed with glioblastoma in 2017. He died in 2018. 

Despite her diagnosis, Love remained politically engaged over the last election cycle, denouncing an assassination attempt on President Trump in July on X.

"Political violence is despicable," she wrote. "There is not, nor will there ever be, a place for it in our Republic. If you find yourself supporting or wishing for violence, know you are wrong. May we recommit to civility, reasonable discourse, and proper civil engagement rather over anger and hatred."

A week later, she posted, "After this past week, I’m all in on team Trump/Vance! They have a passionate vision of an American revival that enables all Americans to pursue their dreams." 

After her daughter's announcement Saturday, Love received an outpouring of support. 

"Mia Love is a dear friend. I pray for her and her family," Sen. Mike Lee of Utah posted on X. 

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox wrote, "Mia Love has served Utah with integrity, and her strength and grace continue to inspire us. Our hearts are with Mia and her family during this difficult time. Utah stands with you."

"I’m so sorry," Love's former colleague, former Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger, wrote.
