Arkansas GOP governor says he's considering 2024 bid and would run even if Trump does
CNN
Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas said Sunday that he's weighing a White House bid in 2024 and that he would still consider running even if former President Donald Trump enters the race.
"You've got to get through, of course, this year. But that's an option that's on the table," Hutchinson, who is term-limited as governor, told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union" when asked if he was seriously considering 2024 run.
Pressed by Bash on whether he would still consider running if Trump decides to seek the 2024 GOP nomination, Hutchinson said the former President's candidacy is "not a factor in my decision-making process."
The US began pulling military equipment and additional personnel out of Niger on Friday after waiting months for the ruling military junta to approve US military flights into the country, two sources familiar with the matter said Saturday, ahead of a September 15 withdrawal deadline agreed to by the two countries.
