After finishing sixth in Monday night’s Iowa caucus, former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson has decided to suspend his campaign for President of the United States.
“Today, I am suspending my campaign for President and driving back to Arkansas. My message of being a principled Republican with experience and telling the truth about the current front-runner did not sell in Iowa,” according to The Associated Press.
Hutchinson shared the news on X.
