KUAR | By Ronak Patel

Last week, the Republican party allowed candidates to present themselves to a national audience and address criticism from their opponents, during a two hour debate that was hosted by Fox News. One of the candidates who was on the stage was former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson.

During the debate, Hutchinson stood out from the rest of the candidates when he was the only candidate not to raise his hand when asked if he would support former president and current frontrunner for the nomination Donald Trump.

In an interview with Arkansas PBS, Hutchinson said he believes the Republican party needs to move on from Trump if the party is to stay competitive in presidential elections.
