Biden Apologizes To Asa Hutchinson Over DNC Statement On His Exit From The 2024 Race
HuffPost
“President Biden has deep respect for Governor Hutchinson and admires the race that he ran,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.
President Joe Biden apologized to former GOP presidential candidate Asa Hutchinson following a statement by the Democratic National Committee that appeared to mock the former Arkansas governor’s long-shot campaign, the White House said Wednesday.
Hutchinson, one of former President Donald Trump’s toughest critics in the GOP primary, dropped out of the race a day after the Iowa caucuses, where he finished sixth and got only 0.2% of the vote.
The former governor’s campaign failed to get traction, and he only qualified for the first Republican primary debate in August.
“My message of being a principled Republican with experience and telling the truth about the current front-runner did not sell in Iowa,” he said Tuesday as he dropped out of the contest.
The DNC poked fun at the governor’s announcement.
