Karl pressed Hutchinson on if that view meant he definitively wouldn't support Trump should Trump emerge as the Republican nominee for the White House in two years.
Hutchinson demurred and only said he would consider the options out of what is likely to be a crowded field.
Trump has repeatedly said he did nothing wrong and accused the House committee of politically persecuting him. "I think it would be a mistake to do that. I think it's obvious that you've got a divided party in the sense that you've got a base of loyal Trump supporters. But you've got what to me is even a larger majority of those that say, 'We want to go a different direction,'" he said.
That vision of problem-solving, he said, was one way other conservatives could differentiate themselves from Trump in the lead-up to the 2024 race. "That's not a new thing anymore. And so I think people move away from it rather than embrace it," he said.
