CNN reports:
Arkansas Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson is “very seriously” considering a 2024 presidential campaign, he told “CNN This Morning” on Thursday.
“Absolutely. I’m looking at it – looking at it very seriously. After the midterm elections, it’s more intense, and it’s an accelerated review, and after going to Iowa, I’m encouraged that a governor who’s actually solved problems, who has a conservative common sense approach, can draw support and can be a good alternative. So, I’m encouraged by it,” Hutchinson told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.
Hutchinson also said that the midterm results weren’t a rejection of Republican values but “it was a rejection of specific candidates. They were not focused on the problems of Americans.”

Hutchinson has been term-limited out of office and will be succeeded by Sarah Huckabee Sanders in January. Other top Republicans that may run include Mike Pence, Ron DeSantis, Ted Cruz, Mike Pompeo, Tim Scott, and Nikki Haley. At one point in late 2015, there were 17 declared Republican presidential candidates.
