The Republican chairman of the National Governors Association said on Saturday that Donald Trump should not lead Republicans or the country again.
"I do not believe Trump is the one to lead our party and our country again, as president," Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson told Insider on the sidelines of the NGA Winter Meeting in Washington, DC.
Insider asked Hutchinson whether he wants Trump to run following a video that recently surfaced in which Trump declares on the golf course that he is "the 45th and the 47th" president.
Asked who should lead instead, Hutchinson said "that's what the election is all about."
"And, you know, the Republican Party has many different voices," Hutchinson said. "And it's important in this time to have those voices and they should be concentrating on this election cycle."
Hutchinson, a two-term governor, was one of the first Republican governors to publicly push Trump to start a transition process with President Joe Biden after the 2020 election. He has said that Trump's continued attempts to discredit the 2020 election results could be a "disaster" for Republican candidates running for office this year.
"I've made it clear: This is about the future," he told Insider. "It's not about the past elections."
Earlier, he told reporters, "I don't believe the election was stolen. I respect the results."

That’s why I’m no longer a Republican. I refuse to kiss liberal ...
Might as well be quoting Mitch McConnell or Romney. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As if your vote matters anymore.
A RINO. He’s a Republicrat.
These guys just don’t get it. Nobody cares what Asahole Hutchinson and other RINOs or the GOPe has to say.
I am convinced!
To hell with the political class and their opinions.
Remember, Asa is a long time swamp rat.
3rd party may be the way for Trump to go. A bold move that could catch the eye of unhappy dems and pubs.
You shut the hell up!
We the people will decide who leads America.
Therein lies the problem Hutchie! You believe a lie and we don't! All the state laws that were broken is not obvious to him. How about he take a long hard look at the evidence before he decides. Does any of the censorship bother him?? What a piece of work.
The eGOP is dead to me.
Hutchinson is probably dreaming of living in the White House. He's been in government all of his life, and probably thinks he should be President.
He got his start under President Reagan. Apparently Asa didn't learn one of Reagan's commandments. Don't criticize your fellow Republicans.
I am waiting to see Asa speak up for ordinary Americans. I haven't heard any criticism of any Democrats from him.
That’s not up to assistant Democrats.
The voices of everyone except the base, right Asa?
The people of Arkansas hate this guy. They cannot wait for him to go.
I should clarify that the middle class, working Conservatives hate this guy.
The RINO/Chamber of Commerce/Country Club/Tom Cotton/GOPe types love him. For it is they that love to use their positions and connections to get rich and screw everyone else.
