On April 2, 2023, Asa Hutchinson, the 46th governor of Arkansas from 2015 to 2023, announced his campaign for President of the United States during an interview with ABC News.[1][2] He will formally launch his campaign in late April in his hometown of Bentonville.[1]

When he was Arkansas governor, he said that Republicans who tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election and spread Trump's "Big Lie" about the election should not be elected to office.[3]

Hutchinson announced the suspension of his campaign on January 16, 2024, the day after the Iowa Republican caucus.[4]
