Some of Asa Hutchinson's campaign events attract 6 voters. He's still optimistic about his 2024 primary prospects

Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, a seasoned politician who has served in Congress, as U.S. attorney and as a cabinet official in two Republican administrations, is running for president, and he is struggling.
A social conservative, Hutchinson has been campaigning heavily in Iowa for the past few months, where turnout at his campaign events has been noticeably sparse. Sometimes half a dozen Republican voters show up — as the New York Times has reported — and as is readily apparent in photos of the events.
"Even if you find six people there, I enjoy it, because you have a question and answer, you get to know them," he said Monday at a news conference in Washington, D.C.
