Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson won’t back ‘risk to the nation’ Donald Trump

Outgoing Republican Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson vowed Friday that he would not support Donald Trump if the former president decides to make another White House run in 2024 — with Hutchinson saying Trump constituted “a risk to the nation” in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election.

“As you can see from the testimony on Jan. 6, then and subsequent to the election where he was challenging the legality of it, the lawful transfer of [power] — yes, that was a threat to our democracy. That was a threat to our institutions of government,” Hutchinson told “CBS Mornings.” “And that’s not the behavior we want to see in a responsible president.”
