Asa Hutchinson, Former Arkansas Governor, to Seek Republican Presidential Nomination

Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson said Sunday he will run for president in 2024. Hutchinson made his intentions known during an interview on ABC's "This Week". A formal announcement will come later this month.

Hutchinson joins a still developing field of candidates looking to challenge former president Donald Trump for the Republican nomination. Other announced candidates include former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is widely expected to enter the race at some point. While others may join the race as well, national polling for the nomination to this point has Trump and DeSantis running well ahead of the field, all of whom are seeing single-digit support. The caveat to this, of course, is that there is no national primary, so all these candidates will hope to break through in one of the early voting states.
