“I am convinced that the people want a leader who appeals to America’s best values, not our worst instincts,” said Asa Hutchinson in an interview.
Former Governor of the State of Arkansas Asa Hutchinson says he’s running for the Republican presidential nomination. He told about it in an interview with the ABC news channel. He plans to make an official announcement about his candidacy later this month.
The 72-year-old Hutchinson was governor for eight years.
Hutchinson is known as an old-fashioned politician, but also a former president Donald Trump’s as a harsh critic. According to Hutchinson, Trump’s re-election would be the “worst case scenario”.
– I am convinced that people want a leader who appeals to America’s best values and not to our worst instincts, he said in an interview.
The Republicans now have four candidates: in addition to Trump and Hutchinson, a former UN ambassador has announced his candidacy Nikki Haley and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy.
