🇺🇸Former governor of the US state of Arkansas Asa Hutchinson announced on Sunday his decision to run for president in 2024 from the Republican Party, calling on former US President Donald Trump to abandon plans for reelection.
"I have made a decision. And my decision is, I'm going to run for president of the United States," Hutchinson said in an interview with a US broadcaster.
The former governor said Trump should withdraw from the presidential race in view of his indictment.
"I don't believe he should be the next leader of our country," Hutchinson added.
On Thursday, the Manhattan Grand Jury voted to indict Trump on charges related to his alleged role in a hush money payment and cover-up involving adult film star Stormy Daniels during the lead-up to the 2016 election. Trump denies the allegations, as well as the affair, and has characterized the case as a "witch hunt" and political persecution.

📰❌ Twitter removed the verification mark from the main account of American newspaper The New York Times
This happened after the outlet (which is worth well over $6 bn) refused to pay the monthly fee of $7 for the mark according to the social network's new requirements. Now, the newspaper's account - which has 55 million subscribers - is no different from other unofficial profiles.
💬 "The real tragedy of @ NYTimes is that their propaganda isn't even interesting", Elon Musk wrote on Twitter, criticizing the decision.
Twitter's owner announced some time ago that verified users had until 1 April to buy a premium subnoscription or lose their verification check mark.
