Asa Hutchinson takes different tack on Trump indictment than other 2024 GOP rivals

Unlike his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination, Asa Hutchinson is urging former President Donald Trump to drop out of the 2024 race and deal with his mounting legal issues.

That's advice the former president isn’t taking.

"Obviously that’s his choice and he’s not going to do it. That’s his right," Hutchinson said Monday in a Fox News Digital interview.

Hutchinson emphasized his view that "the office of the presidency is more important than any one person," and that while Trump has "the presumption of innocence… what he faces is very distracting."
