Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) “has about 5,000 of the 40,000 donors needed to reach the debate stage in August,” Politico reports.
“Hutchinson has previously criticized the Republican National Committee’s requirements for candidates to qualify for debates: garnering donations from at least 40,000 national contributors and polling consistently above 1 percent in three national polls or two national polls and a state poll. A mild-mannered candidate, the former governor explained that it might take ‘explosive rhetoric’ that ‘gets people excited’ or millions of dollars to garner those donors.”
