Former United States President Donald Trump's former press secretary Sarah Sanders has announced that she will run for governor of the state of Arakansas. He announced his candidacy for the post on Monday, according to US media CNN.
CNN reports that Arakansas Governor Asa Hutchinson's term is coming to an end this year. Ever since he left the White House in 2019, there has been talk of Sarah Sanders' possible candidacy for governor of Arakansas.It will not be easy for Sarah Sanders, daughter of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, to win the Republican final. Many of the state's top Republican leaders have already announced their candidacies. As a result, there will be a strong fight in the Republican primary. Sara is not far behind in this fight.
The governorship of Arakansas is expected to remain in the hands of Republicans. Democrats have had a strong position in the state in the past, but voter turnout over the past decade has been staggering. This picture has been seen in the last election as well. Donald Trump received more than 72 percent of the vote in the state in November.
According to CNN, before leaving the White House in 2019, Sarah Sanders is considering running for governor of Arakanas. CNN had hinted at this long ago on the basis of multiple conversations with him. He has also talked about this with his colleagues and friends at different times. According to him, running for governor would be the best step for his political future.
Donald Trump's influence in Arakansas is also quite strong. And Sarah Sanders did not have to leave the White House with the same bitter experience as other officials. Donald Trump had quite a good relationship with him during and after leaving the White House. In a tweet about Sanders leaving the White House, Trump wrote, ‘He’s something special, he has extraordinary talent. Hopefully, he will decide to run for governor of Arakansas. 'This support of Trump is going to be his big weapon in the party primary. Because, yet Donald Trump is a much bigger influencer in the Republican Party. And in states like Arakanasas, the level of influence is much higher.
