“We’ve negotiated with the Republican National Committee on the terms of the debate, I expect to be on the debate stage,” Hutchinson said. “I don’t prefer party loyalty oaths, but it’s important to have the competition.”
Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson , who earlier this month announced a 2024 White House campaign, dodged when asked on Sunday whether he would support former President Trump if Trump were to be the GOP nominee, saying he doesn’t “prefer party loyalty oaths.”
“President Trump has taken a lot of heat for hemming and hawing on whether he would pledge to support the GOP nominee, whoever it ends up being,” host Shannon Bream asked Hutchinson. “Would you support him if he was the nominee?” Hutchinson, who served in Congress before becoming Arkansas governor and has seen low polling in early primary surveys, argues it is time for “new leadership” in the party and the country.
