Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the former press secretary for Donald Trump, announced Monday she is running for governor of the state of Arkansas. Huckabee himself had served as Arkansas governor from 1996 to 2007. Trump remains popular in Arkansas and Sanders chose to highlight her time with the twice-impeached president during an eight-minute video announcing her run. In November’s presidential elections, Trump won Arkansas with more than 62 percent of the vote. “She would be fantastic” as Arkansas governor, Trump said on Twitter when Sanders resigned from the White House in June 2019.
