Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson on Sunday became the latest Republican to publicly toy with the idea of running for president in 2024 --  potentially setting up a fierce battle within the GOP if Donald Trump attempts another White House bid.

'I’m not ruling it out. That’s something that is a consideration, an option,' Hutchinson told Fox News of a possible presidential campaign.

'I’m certainly not ruling it out, because this is too critical a time for our nation and it’s a defining moment and I want to not only engage the debate now but keep my options open down the road.'

Hutchinson, who chairs the National Governor's Association, will be leaving Little Rock at the end of this year after serving two terms leading the southern state.

During his Sunday interview, the governor dismissed the ex-president's baseless gripe about fraud in the 2020 election and said he wanted to lead the GOP in a 'new direction.'

From the article….

    Hutchinson vetoed a bill banning gender-affirming surgery for Ark. minors

That alone should disqualify him

Yep. In my book that is a deal breaker.

What is it with republicans and this lack of even a basic spine?  Banning child abuse should be a no-brainer for anyone who is neither a Groomer nor a pedo.

What constituency was he trying to appeal to with his VETO? Is Arkansas a hotbed of trans gendered child groomers?

IMHO the last thing that we need is a president up in years.  Hutchinson is 71.  Not quite as old as Pelosi or Joe who display obvious dementia, but nonetheless, I believe ultimately we need someone younger and certainly a younger VP.
