Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson says he’s running for US president in 2024, offering himself as an alternative for Republicans ready to turn the party away from Donald Trump.
“I’m running because I believe that I am the right time for America, the right candidate for our country and its future,” he says.
Hutchinson, 72, tells ABC’s “This Week” in an interview aired today that he would make a formal announcement in April in Arkansas.
“I’m convinced that people want leaders that appeal to the best of America and not simply appeal to our worst instincts,” he says.
Hutchinson has ramped up his criticism of the former president in recent months, calling another Trump presidential nomination the “worst scenario” for Republicans and saying it likely benefits President Joe Biden’s chances in 2024.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
