Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson Ends Presidential Bid

Published: 16 January 2024 at 17:24

Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson has ended his presidential campaign, citing his inability to sell his message as a principled Republican against former President Donald Trump. Hutchinson finished sixth in the Iowa caucuses and struggled to gain national attention. Despite facing financial constraints, he continued to make the case against a second term for Trump and outlasted more prominent candidates like Mike Pence, Tim Scott, and Chris Christie. Hutchinson also refused to support Trump as the Republican nominee if he is convicted of a crime.
