(AP) — Asa Hutchinson said Saturday that the campaign manager for his beleaguered bid for the Republican presidential nomination is departing, but the former Arkansas governor said he is not dropping out of the crowded race.
Hutchinson confirmed that Rob Burgess will leave on Oct. 31, and the candidate said he planned other changes to his campaign.
Hutchinson, who entered the 2024 race in April, has struggled to make in-roads as an anti-Donald Trump candidate.
Before Hutchinson entered the race, he said Trump's latest White House run was the “worst scenario” for the GOP.
I've always been of the view that's going to change, and I still have that view.”___Associated Press writer Michelle Price in Las Vegas contributed to this report
