Asa Hutchinson, a former governor of Arkansas, is considering running for the GOP presidential nomination next year. He is expected to announce his plans in April.
Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, a potential GOP 2024 presidential candidate, told Orange County Republicans on Wednesday that the party needs to nominate a proven leader and consistent conservative who can win independent and suburban voters to take back the White House.
The 72-year-old spent three days in Southern California courting Republican activists, donors and voters in the final weeks before he decides in April whether to run for president next year. Hutchinson has said Trump, who has announced that he is running again in 2024, appeals “to the worst instincts of our country” and that the nation should not “be led by arrogance and revenge in the future.”
He has also criticized Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, saying it was naive of the likely 2024 contender to say that the United States doesn’t have a stake in trying to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He outlined five priorities he would focus on if he runs for president: ending out-of-control spending, reasserting American international leadership, securing the southern border, increasing domestic energy production and stopping the federal government from promoting what he called “a leftist social agenda.”
In an interview, he said his decision would turn upon “whether my consistent conservative message is right for the GOP and America [and] if the finance can be successful.”
