Sarah Huckabee Sanders recently announced she is running for governor of Arkansas. Previously, she served as Donald Trump’s press secretary, and her father, Mike Huckabee, served as Arkansas’ governor for more than a decade (via CNN and PBS). Sanders turned to social media to share the news, uploading a video that explains her platform. Sanders will likely face a primary challenge and is considered to be a favorite for the position, per CNN.
Even Trump, who received 62.4 percent of Arkansas’ votes in the 2020 presidential election, voiced his opinion on the topic: “She is a very special person with extraordinary talents, who has done an incredible job. I hope she decides to run for Governor of Arkansas—she would be fantastic” (via CNN). The current position is held by Asa Hutchinson, a businessman and attorney who has been serving since 2015. As stated by governing.com, his win gave the Republican party complete control of the state’s government for the first time in over a century.
