WASHINGTON – Former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson announced his 2024 US presidential candidacy yesterday.

Hutchinson, who served as Arkansas governor from January 2015 to January 2023, made the announcement during an interview with ABC News, reported Xinhua.

“I have made a decision, and my decision is I’m going to run for president of the United States,” said Hutchinson, a 72-year-old Republican, adding that a formal announcement will be made later this month.

Hutchinson joins the 2024 Republican field, which includes former US President Donald Trump, former South Carolina Governor and United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.

Sitting US President Joe Biden, a Democrat, has not announced his reelection bid yet. The 2024 US presidential election is scheduled for November 5, 2024. – Bernama, April 3, 2023
