Sarah Huckabee Sanders Breaks Silence on GOP Presidential Primary, Makes Endorsement
Republican Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders will officially endorse former President Donald Trump’s 2024 election bid this week, she announced on Tuesday.
Trump’s White House press secretary from 2017 to 2019 will make the official endorsement on Wednesday, according to NBC News.
Sanders, who has been leading Arkansas since January, expressed her belief that the country was more “prosperous” under Trump.
“It’s not a question between right versus left anymore,” she told NBC News on Tuesday. “It’s normal versus crazy, and President Biden and the left are doubling down on crazy.”
“The time has come to return to the normal policies of the Trump era which created a safer, stronger, and more prosperous America, and that’s why I am proud to endorse Donald Trump for President,” Sanders added.
Trump’s campaign celebrated the endorsement in a news release:

The governor will endorse Trump over Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Asa Hutchinson, her predecessor in the Arkansas governor’s mansion.
Hutchinson is currently polling at 0 percent in the Republican 2024 primary but has not offered any indication he will drop out of the race, according to Morning Consult.
He will not be at Wednesday’s GOP debates which NBC News is hosting. Trump will also skip the debate and hold a rally near Miami where Sanders will reportedly endorse him.
Sanders’ endorsement was reportedly seen as late by people close to Trump.
A person described as being in the former president’s close orbit reportedly said there have been a lot of questions asked regarding why Trump’s former press secretary has waited until now to offer him her support.
“[Mar-aLago] has been furious with her for months for going this long without endorsing,” the person reportedly said. “There’s always a way back in Trump world, but I’m not sure if President Trump will ever view her the same again.”
In his own statement, Trump said he was proud to have the endorsement.
“We had great success in the White House and it’s an honor to have Sarah’s endorsement,” Trump said. “I look forward to having her at the big rally in Hialeah this Wednesday.”
Sanders’ endorsement comes a day after Republican Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds endorsed DeSantis at a rally in her state on Monday evening.
“As a mother, grandmother, and American, I can’t sit on the sidelines,” Reynolds posted after the rally. “@RonDeSantis is the person who will fight for you. Who will have the moral conviction to do what’s right & the ability to actually do what he promises.”

What role might Sanders’ endorsement play in shaping the narrative and direction of the Republican primary race for the 2024 presidential election
R fully trust her again after this.”
This endorsement is a significant boost for Trump as he considers entering the 2024 presidential race. It reaffirms his popularity among key Republican figures and strengthens his position within the party.
Sanders’ decision to endorse Trump is not surprising, considering her close ties to the former president and her role as his press secretary. Throughout her tenure in the White House, she defended and promoted Trump’s agenda, becoming one of his most loyal and effective spokespersons.
Furthermore, Sanders’ endorsement aligns with the sentiment among many Republicans who believe that the country was better off under Trump’s leadership. They argue that his policies fostered economic growth, job creation, and national security, contrasting them with what they perceive as the current administration’s radical and misguided approach.
The endorsement also highlights the deep divisions within the Republican Party. While Trump remains a dominant figure, Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida has emerged as a viable alternative. DeSantis has gained popularity among conservatives for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, immigration, and election integrity issues. However, Sanders’ endorsement suggests that Trump still holds considerable sway and that his influence cannot be underestimated.
As for Asa Hutchinson, his lack of support and low polling numbers indicate a diminishing relevance in the race. His failure to garner significant attention or gather momentum suggests that his campaign is unlikely to gain traction.
The timing of Sanders’ endorsement has raised eyebrows and generated speculation. Some speculate that she strategically waited to maximize impact and media coverage. Others believe that she was hesitant to endorse Trump due to concerns over his controversial statements and actions following the 2020 election.
Regardless of the reasons behind the timing, Sanders’ endorsement will undoubtedly play a key role in shaping the narrative of the Republican primary race. It will serve as a signal to other Republican figures, donors, and voters about the direction of the party and its preferred candidate.
Overall, Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ endorsement of Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election carries significant weight within the Republican Party. It provides a stamp of approval from a trusted and influential conservative figure, reaffirming Trump’s standing as a frontrunner and signaling his continued dominance in the party. As the campaign unfolds, this endorsement may prove instrumental in rallying support, solidifying Trump’s base, and attracting undecided voters.
