KUAR | By Ronak Patel

In an interview with Talk Business & Politics, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, said he believes he has exceeded expectations with his campaign.

Despite his low polling numbers and fundraising numbers, Hutchinson said he has impacted the discussions his party is having.

“I think I’ve been very clear in terms of my views and vision for America that we need to have a new leadership in our party and our country,” he said. “I’ve impacted the race, in fact, I was the third one in. Since then, we’ve had 8 more jump in. I think they see the opportunity and necessity of it. So the impact has been terrific.”
