REUTERS\/Eduardo Munoz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>(Reuters) &#8211; Brace yourselves, folks! The 2024 presidential race just got a whole lot more interesting with the formal launch of former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson&#8217;s campaign. In his announcement speech, Hutchinson positioned himself as a moderate alternative to the current Republican frontrunner, Donald Trump. <\/p>\n<p>At 72 years old, Hutchinson&#8217;s bid may be considered a long-shot, but he&#8217;s already made waves by breaking with Trump earlier this year after the former president&#8217;s criminal indictment in March. Unlike other Republican candidates who rallied behind Trump, Hutchinson called for him to pull out of the race.<\/p>\n<p>In his speech, Hutchinson didn&#8217;t mention Trump by name, but he did criticize the former president&#8217;s isolationist approach to foreign policy. &#8220;Isolationism only leads to weakness and weakness leads to war,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>While Hutchinson may not have much name recognition nationally, he&#8217;s hoping to appeal to Republican primary voters as a more moderate option compared to Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is also expected to announce his presidential campaign soon. However, moderation can be a tough sell in a primary battle that typically attracts conservative voters.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting race!<\/p>\n<p>(Reporting by Tim Reid; Editing by Alistair Bell)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson speaks at the Iowa Faith &amp; Freedom Coalition Spring Kick-off in West Des Moines, Iowa, U.S. April 22, 2023.
