<p>One Republican governor vows to do all he can to ensure former President Donald Trump is not the GOP nominee in 2024.</p>
<p>Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, who is considering a presidential run of his own, was asked by Jonathan Karl, co-anchor of ABC News&#8217;s &#8220;This Week,&#8221; whether he would vote or support Trump if the 45th president did win the nomination again.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to do everything that we can to make sure there’s alternatives, that he is not the nominee. And, of course, that’s a – all depends upon who else is out there,&#8221; Hutchinson said in the interview that aired Sunday morning. &#8220;But I do not believe that Donald Trump should be the next president of the United States.&#8221;</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">“I do not believe that Donald Trump should be the next president of the United States&#8230;I think Jan. 6 really disqualifies him for the future. And so we move beyond that.

<p>Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-trump-launches-third-bid-for-white-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced a third campaign</a> for the White House in November. It remains to be seen whether any significant members of the GOP will rise to challenge Trump, who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/harvard-harris-poll-trump-leads-among-gop-for-2024-primaries" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remains popular within the party</a>.</p>
<p>Though Hutchinson reiterated his longstanding view that the events of January 6, 2021 – the day of the Capitol riot – disqualifies Trump in 2024, he insisted it was &#8220;premature&#8221; when pressed on whether he would declare outright that no matter what, he would not support Trump. Still, he argued that Trump does not &#8220;define&#8221; the Republican Party and stressed there must be &#8220;other voices.&#8221;</p>
<p>A <a href="https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/government/hutchinson-bio.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">former administrator</a> of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Hutchinson has now served as governor of Arkansas since January 2015. After <a href="https://apnews.com/article/2b16dbd4d1714868912c2a4380a1537a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">winning re-election in 2018</a>, he was barred from another bid due to term limits. Hutchinson has said he is <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/17/politics/asa-hutchinson-arkansas-presidential-bid-2024-cnntv/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;very seriously&#8221;</a> considering a 2024 presidential run but was noncommittal on Sunday.</p>

Asa Hutchinson warns RNC against putting up “obstacles” to unifying the Republican Party, telling <a href="https://twitter.com/jonkarl?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JonKarl</a> that every candidate besides Donald Trump should have a chance to “showcase their skills and leadership capability.” <a href="https://t.co/xCAmiEc9Ly">https://t.co/xCAmiEc9Ly</a> <a href="https://t.co/LHc5zpVKvz">pic.twitter.com/LHc5zpVKvz</a></p>

<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to Iowa later this month. I&#8217;m excited about that. But no decision has been made now. And we can’t make a decision until a little bit later,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But I want to be a part of the solutions for America. I want to showcase that there – you can have leaders that address problems and offer solutions and ideas.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hutchinson and Trump found common ground during the 2022 election cycle when they both endorsed Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who served as Trump&#8217;s White House press secretary from 2017 to 2019 and is the daughter of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, as she ran to be the next governor of Arkansas.</p>
<p>Sanders won the contest and is set to be <a href="https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/nov/22/sanders-will-kick-off-inauguration-jan-7-with/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sworn in as the state&#8217;s first female governor</a> on January 10.</p>
