“I am going to be running. And the reason, as I’ve traveled the country for six months, I hear people talk about the leadership of our country, and I’m convinced that people want leaders that appeal to the best of America, and not simply appeal to our worst instincts,” the former governor said. “I believe I can be that kind of leader for the people of America.”
Hutchinson said he will make a formal announcement later this month in Bentonville, Arkansas.

He's called on Trump to drop out. Not sure America's ready to elect a Bob Jones alum, but good that someone in the GOP is actually running *against* Trump instead of trying to *be* Trump. https://t.co/BWtl4qaCmA

Hutchinson has a snowball’s chance in hell of getting the nomination. Besides, I’ve already decided to never vote for a Republican ever again. Non-Trumpies in the GOP are tainted by Trump and his cult. I wouldn’t trust anyone in that party, Maga or not.
