Indictment Gives Never Trump Candidates New Weapon

Asa Hutchinson and Will Hurd, two of the most vehemently anti-Donald Trump candidates in the Republican presidential primary, took Tuesday’s four-count indictment of the former president as vindication. “I have always said that Donald Trump is morally responsible for the attack on our democracy. Now, our system of Justice will determine whether he is criminally responsible,” Hutchinson, a former congressman and former Arkansas governor, said in a statement shortly after the charges were unveiled.He also took the opportunity — as he has in the past — to say Trump should withdraw from the GOP race because of the indictment.“The latest indictment reaffirms my earlier call that Donald Trump should step away from the campaign for the good of the country.

Former GOP Rep. and presidential candidate Will Hurd navigated boos and jeers in Iowa on Friday after declaring that former President Donald Trump was running for president “to stay out of prison.” Hurd’s speech at the Iowa GOP’s Lincoln Dinner was part of an event featuring a majority of the 2024 Republican field including Trump, who spoke later in the evening.The former Texas congressman, who trails Trump significantly in national polls, blamed the former president’s 2020 loss on his failure “to grow the GOP brand” in certain areas before launching into an attack on his current White House bid.“One of the things we need in our elected leaders: for them to tell the truth, even if it’s unpopular,” Hurd said.“Donald Trump is not running for president to Make America Great Again.
