Republican presidential candidate Asa Hutchinson, the former Arkansas governor, weighs in on Donald Trump and his own 2024 presidential campaign in an interview with Fox News Digital.
who announced on Sunday that he’s launching a GOP presidential campaign and that he’ll formally declare his candidacy at an event in his home state later this month, said,"I fully expect him [Trump] to be in the mix as a candidate through all the primaries and the voters are going to have a decision to make."
Trump is expected to be arraigned Tuesday for allegedly giving hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in 2016 to keep her quiet ahead of that year’s presidential election over her claims she had sexual encounters years earlier with Trump. The former president denies sleeping with Daniels and denies falsifying business records to keep the payment concealed.
"A little bit of surprise because people need to be clear. If you’re going to run for the nomination, you’re running against Donald Trump and you have to define the differences and you have to be clear in your view on it. That’s what I’ve tried to do, and I think the voters are entitled to that," Hutchinson said."To me, it’s not a hard question. When you look at what’s good for the country and our party, we need a change in leadership.
"There’s a lot of loyalty to the former president. They [Republicans] believe he is being unfairly targeted. I’m not surprised by that," said Hutchinson.
