BREAKING: Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson officially launched a 2024 presidential bid, joining a growing GOP field.
formally launched his long-shot bid for the Republican Party's 2024 presidential nomination on Wednesday, making the case that his"mettle has been tested" and he's ready to take on President Biden.
Hutchinson, 72, focused his remarks on his and Mr. Biden's records, rather than taking aim at potential and declared GOP candidates. His campaign faces a steep uphill climb given Republican voters' continued support for former President Donald Trump. Hutchinson did not mention Trump in his remarks on Wednesday, but has been one of the few Republicans willing to criticize the former president, who enjoys a large lead in GOP primary polls.
Hutchinson said he doesn't want an"unending" war in Ukraine, and the best way to avoid that is to help Ukraine"today." "We have learned that in times of turmoil, uncertainty, and division, America has always benefited from leaders who challenge us and give us hope," Hutchinson continued."I am confident that America is ready to seek new frontiers; and that we are ready to channel the restless waves of our democracy into more freedom and more prosperity for those who follow after us.
