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.
EXCLUSIVE: Former GOP Gov. Asa Hutchinson announces during an interview with @JonKarl that he will be running for president. “Well he should,” Hutchinson said when asked whether Trump should withdraw his candidacy over the indictment. “But at the same time, we know he’s not [going to]. And there’s not any constitutional requirement.”
“I don’t like the idea of the charges from what I’ve seen coming out of New York,” he said Sunday. “But the process has got to work, and we’ve got to have respect for our criminal justice system, but also for the office of the presidency.”
