Insiders have broken the news, Trump will be getting the endorsement from governor Mike Huckabee in Arkansas Shortly before the Arkansas Caucus.
This comes after Huck's daughter endorsed Trump
Donald Trump announced Thursday that Mike Huckabee's daughter, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, is joining his campaign.
"I have great respect for Governor Mike Huckabee and we have a mutual admiration for our wonderful families. It is great to have his daughter, Sarah, join the campaign," Trump said in a statement.
"What makes Mr. Trump my choice for president is he will break the grip of the donor class on our government and make it accountable to working families again," said Sanders, who is joining Trump's team as a senior advisor.
Sanders' father, the former Arkansas Governor, was previously Trump's rival for the Republican nomination and dropped out of the raceimmediately after the Iowa caucus results rolled in. Huckabee, who ran for president in 2008 as well and won the Iowa caucus that year, has yet to endorse someone in the race. The announcement could be a hint that he'll throw his weight behind Trump.
ENTONVILLE (KFSM) -- The Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport outlined some guidelines ahead of Donald Trump's airport rally on Saturday (Feb. 27).
Airport officials are anticipating nearly 8,500 will be heading to hear the presidential hopeful speak at XNA. Although the event is free, people will still need tickets to attend the event, which can be found here.
With such a large crowd expected, airport officials said the rally will be held at the Regional Jet Center Hanger, instead of the terminal.
People will be standing on concrete outside, so XNA director Kelly Johnson is encouraging visitors to come prepared.
"There's not going to be any seating, so think about that when you dress to come out to the event," she said.
Everyone will need to pass through security before the event. Screening will begin at 9 a.m.
"There will be seven stations set up and you'll go through a metal detector," Johnson said. "Don't bring bottles of water, don't bring your pocket knife don't bring a lawn chair. That's not going to be allowed."
Limited parking will be available, so carpooling is encouraged. Parking will be directed to Lot 1 first, followed by Lot 2. After both of those are filled, drivers will be directed to Overflow Lot 3.
"We've got three fields set up there so you will be parking in the field," Johnson said. "It's not a great place to try to park thousands of people. Carpool if you can because once the parking is gone, it is gone."
All passengers with Saturday morning flights are encouraged to arrive two hours before their flights are scheduled to depart.
"There are only about 700 people traveling until noon, so we encourage those folks to please look at your travel plans and adjust your drive time in the event that we do have a back up," Johnson said. "We saw that happen the last time we did one of these, with Bush."
The rally is expected to last an hour.
I’m not fond of Huck but maybe this will help in Arkansas.
One Huck is better than a thousand Becks...lol
Sweater Vest has ALREADY endorsed Cabana Boy Rubeeyo.
I’m kind of forgiving Huck. I’ve been very harsh on him and called him a liar all the time. But somehow he gets it, what this election is about.
If I was a family member of one of those four slain police officers I might show up there.
Did Huck endorse someone else when he left the race?
Not that I know of.
Where has all the freeper Huckabee hatred gone?
Yup
Swept aside like trash after a monsoon rain now that he backs their idol.
So out of the candidates that left the race
Sanctorum endorsed Rubio
Christie recently endorsed Trump
They see the writing, they see the wall... Why endorse someone when you know they are going to lose? The sirens you hear are the warning- Dam about to burst.
Wither goest Pataki and Gilmore?
I’ll take all we can get
I hear that Gilmore and Webb are teaming together on an Indie ticket. Better watch out!
Yes, this election is all about doing what the media tells us.
Where have all the true FR conservatives gone? I think most got fed up with these Trump supporting clowns and left.
That’s good for Trump. It’s hard to find a more solid social conservative than Huckabee. He’ll only help draw in evangelicals or Christians skeptical of Trump.
Nice, hopefully it helps get a few votes in AR.
