Governor Asa Hutchinson (R-AR) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Donald Trump running in 2024 would not affect his decision to run.
Anchor Dana Bash said, “Are you seriously considering running for president?”
Hutchinson said, “I am, but you’ve got to get through, of course, this year, but that’s an option that’s on the table. That’s one of the reasons that I was in New Hampshire. You had Secretary Mayorkas on, and the border security is such an incredible issue. That’s what the kind of thing I’m passionate about. Whenever you look at it, we need to have Title 42 or some equivalent to it. Secondly, we’ve got to go after the cartels in a more vigorous fashion. Thirdly, we’ve got to support the states in the role that we play. So, there’s much to be done there. I care about those issues. And so, yes, I’m going to be engaged this year and hopefully beyond that.”
Bash said, “Even if President Trump runs, you will run, consider running? His candidacy won’t affect yours?”
Hutchinson said, “No, it won’t. I’ve made it clear, I think we ought to have a different direction in the future. I’m not aligned with him on some of his endorsements and also the direction he wants to take our country. I think we did a lot of good things for our country, but we need to go a different direction. So, that’s not a factor in my decision-making process.”

Is he a neocon? Anyone?
Biden might as well be one, imo.
You wanna talk about a swamp pig. This guy is another prime example.
Your whole family will be embarrassed.
Always running to CNN, like a little @#tch.
Must be something in the water at the Governor’s residence in Arkansas. These guys all develop visions of grandeur. The Clintons, Huckabee, Hutchinson......
Okay, bye now. I don’t care what you do mister.
Well Asa being an assistant Democrat is not the direction I want the country to take. Adios.
Zero chance
Breitbart needs a better headline writer/proofreader. Effect is noun; affect is verb.
“...we need to go a different direction.”
Back to the Bushes, I’m sure is what he means.
Real amateur hour stuff.
“New Direction” = more deep state BS and kabuki theater.
Trump (or DeSantis) = real new direction and eliminating deep sate.
“Is he a neocon?”
He is throw-the-doors-open pro amnesty for sure
It’s still a free country. Anyone can choose to run - but Hutchinson has zero chance of winning against Trump.
It’ll give Trump someone to debate against - which might be good. Remember this first run? Trump dispatched Jeb, McCain, Rubio, Scott, Cruz etc etc etc...
Also said WE did some good things, not Trump did some good things. What a pig.
Asa and John Kasich ought to go get a room together.
I see Asa likes to live dangerously too...
I guess we should invite him over when we play Blackjack.
Please clap Part Deux
