This weekend, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) announced he would be running for president in 2024 while simultaneously attacking former President Donald Trump. Left-leaning articles highlight that Hutchinson has doubled down on his calls for Trump to withdraw from the race after being indicted last week, while right-leaning articles highlight that Hutchinson is distinct from his competitors in how vocal he has been in calling for Trump to withdraw from the presidential race.
The Hill published a centrist article reporting that Hutchinson criticized Trump on Monday for playing a song by the band “J6 Prison Choir,” a group made up of Capitol rioter defendants, at his first campaign rally ahead of 2024. Hutchinson, who announced his bid for the presidency on Sunday, said that Trump was “undermining our system of justice” while trying to rile up his supporters.
A left-leaning article by CNN highlighted that Hutchinson announced his bid for the White House this Sunday poised as a vocal challenger to the former president who is facing criminal charges for allegedly paying hush money to an adult-film star ahead of the 2016 election. CNN highlighted that Hutchinson has doubled down on calling for Trump to step down from his third presidential campaign following his indictment late last week.
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlighted that Hutchinson, who will make an official announcement of his candidacy late this month, stands out against the other Republican contenders for the presidency in his insistence that Trump withdraw his campaign after he was indicted by a New York grand jury. Hutchinson said in an interview with Fox that he was surprised that other 2024 presidential hopefuls in the GOP are not more vocal about calling on Trump to step down.
