Former Arkansas governor and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Asa Hutchinson has joined Scripps News as a political analyst. Hutchinson, who is known for his anti-Trump stance, dropped out of the Republican primary after performing poorly in the early contests. He will now appear regularly on Mondays on Scripps News’ politics and campaign-oriented evening show, ‘The Race.’
Hutchinson expressed excitement about joining Scripps News, stating, ‘I am excited to be part of the Scripps News team as we head into one of the most consequential elections in history.’ He also commended Scripps News for its commitment to balanced political coverage.
Hutchinson’s transition to a political analyst role follows a similar move by former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, who recently joined the Hudson Institute as Walter P. Stern Chair. Both former candidates are seeking new roles after dropping out of the GOP primary.
Hutchinson’s addition to Scripps News brings valuable insights to the network’s coverage of the upcoming election. As a former presidential candidate and Arkansas governor, Hutchinson has extensive knowledge of politics and the issues facing the nation. His perspectives will provide viewers with in-depth analysis and commentary on the 2024 election and its implications for the future of American politics.
