In a recent interview, Republican President Trump presidential candidate, Asa Hutchinson, expressed his concern over the actions of Donald Trump in pressuring election canvassers in Wayne County, as reported by the Detroit News. Governor Hutchinson highlighted a consistent pattern of misleading his supporters and the need for accountability. While acknowledging that Ronna McDaniel, the RNC Chairwoman, offered legal protection if the canvassers did not certify the election, Hutchinson believed she should have honored the election's results and stepped aside. He expressed trouble over the RNC's intervention in the Colorado case and their support of Trump being on the ballot.
When asked about the relevance of Trump's disqualification from the Colorado ruling, Hutchinson stated that he believes Trump is morally responsible for the events of January 6th. He expressed the need for the United States Supreme Court to make a definitive decision on Trump's eligibility to run for president, as it could become an albatross around the GOP's neck leading up to the November election.
Regarding his own candidacy for the presidency, Hutchinson, who has previously mentioned flying coach and living paycheck to paycheck for his campaign, stated his determination to stay in the race despite the pressure for candidates to drop out. He emphasized the importance of multiple voices in the race and highlighted the latest Des Moines Register poll, which showed Trump's increased numbers after other candidates dropped out. Hutchinson acknowledged that dropping out might be a possibility in the future, but maintained that he is committed to engaging with Iowa voters and will let them decide the narrowing of the field.
