Polling at only around 1% but getting attention from anti-Trump conservatives for his center-right platform, Asa Hutchinson is the subject of a lengthy profile from Politico today. It's a great read , replete with contextual analysis of the former governor's long shot campaign, bits of Arkansas history and Asa's goofy chuckles and chortles. It comes only a couple of weeks ahead of the Republican National Committee's Aug. 23 debate in Milwaukee, at which Hutchinson will pitch himself as the anti-Trump candidate of choice in the 2024 GOP primary — if he can qualify for the debate stage, that is.
