Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) announced Sunday that he is running for president in 2024.
The former Republican governor, and frequent critic of former President Donald Trump, took aim at the GOP front-runner in his announcement, both indirectly and directly.
"I have made a decision, and my decision is that I'm going to run for president of the United States," Hutchinson, 72, said in an interview with Jonathan Karl on ABC’s This Week, adding that he will make his formal announcement later in the month.
“I am going to be running. And the reason, as I’ve traveled the country for six months, I hear people talk about the leadership of our country, and I’m convinced that people want leaders that appeal to the best of America, and not simply appeal to our worst instincts,” he continued. “I believe I can be that kind of leader for the people of America.”

Hutchinson/Cheney. Perfect RINO ticket.
FRegards,,,,,
You might be a Governor, you might be a former Governor but if you ain’t talking MAGA you and $hit.
He was worthless as an impeachment manager and everything else he’s ever done. This loser isn’t nearly as interesting as previous perennial presidential candidates.
Harold Stassen and Lyndon LaRouche both ran 9 times. This fool is still young enough to beat their records.
Let’em split up the 10% never Trump vote in the primaries. Outside of the media no one will pay them any attention. Is there a threshold to make the debates this time around?
NEVER in a million years I’d vote for him. This is all a GOP/RNC RINO attempt to pack the deck with so many candidates that it will draw off enough support for Trump and stop a first-round vote nomination and throw it into a brokered convention where the same traitors can cheat him out of the nomination.
Further, former Arkansas Governor? Gee.....where’d we see that before????
Hutchinson reminds me of the older brother in the series Succession who has spent hundreds of millions on his idiot campaign to be president and is at one percent in the polls. He is debating whether to spend another 100 mil to protect that one percent against encroachers. I can’t imagine Hutchinson getting even close to one percent unless you have a primary that allows Dem crossover voters which is how the WMD warmonger Cheney’s daughter got to 27 percent against Harriet Hageman’s 72 percent in the R primary in Wyoming.
Way to slam virtually everyone who supports DJT too, Assa…
Because he appeals to “our worst instincts.”
FUAH.
What a joke! Assa must live in an echo chamber.They all do and like DeSantis they surround themselves with yes men.
Another man who will run take a lot of donations, drop out and monetize it, never pay taxes on the “campaign” donations and then sign on as a lobbyist.
Damn opportunist.
“Another man who will run take a lot of donations, drop out and monetize it, never pay taxes on the “campaign” donations and then sign on as a lobbyist.”
Exactly!
Another useless POS.
Picking up where Lizzy left off.
Trump lost me after the mid-terms. I was pissed. It took a chubby little retarded Manhattan token African to bring me back. Thanks Chumpmonk.
Lizard Lips is so generous — asking the front runner to step aside to maybe enhance his zero possibility to be the Republican nominee.
It’s probably good all these RINO’s are running. When each and every one of them is discarded or defeated, it will show the GOP that their candidates and their policies are soundly rejected by their base. Maybe then they might begin to consider embracing MAGA, because it’s what patriotic Americans want.
from wikipedia:
Hutchinson’s son Asa Hutchinson III has been arrested multiple times for driving offenses, including arrests in 2023, 2019, 2018, and 2016 for DWI and an arrest for possession of a controlled substance at a music festival in 2016 and simultaneous possession of a controlled substance and a firearm in 2023.
Sounds like he has the right family to follow after joe.
Yet another squishy puke f**k whose delusions of grandeur have overcome common sense and reality.
The country needs less of pussies like Hutchinson.
Has Mike Huckabee the other Governor lended his support to Asa? How about Sarah the acting Governor..is she in..
Hutchinson makes Mittens look good.
If that scum bag doesn’t realize that America is in the midst of a civil war with people trying to rip the government asunder then he has ZERO business running for president or any government office.
