On Tuesday, former President Donald Trump claimed all six electoral votes from Arkansas, marking his third consecutive victory in the staunchly Republican state during presidential elections. Trump’s campaign received significant support from prominent Republican leaders in Arkansas, including Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Sanders, who previously held the role of White House press secretary under Trump, actively endorsed his campaign and promoted his candidacy throughout the state.

In contrast, former Governor Asa Hutchinson, who sought the GOP nomination but was unsuccessful, chose not to endorse Trump’s reelection efforts. The Democratic Party has faced a long dry spell in Arkansas, having not won a presidential contest in the state since 1996, when Bill Clinton, a native of Arkansas, secured his second term. The outcome of the election was confirmed by reports at 8:30 p.m. EST, solidifying Trump’s position in the state once again.
