The outgoing White House press secretary got a recent boost when President Donald Trump encouraged her to run.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the outgoing White House press secretary, is seriously considering running for governor of Arkansas, according to three people who have spoken to her in recent days.
“It has been the nonstop political conversation since it hit, and will probably be so now going forward,” said Bill Vickery, an Arkansas political consultant, adding, “That indicates what sort of big-time player she is in terms of the political landscape if indeed she follows through.” “She would be formidable if she were to get into the race,” said Roby Brock, a longtime Arkansas political reporter. “She’s got the Huckabee political machine, the Boozman political machine and the Trump political machine.”
Though Sanders came under heavy criticism in Washington for sparring with reporters, doing away with regular press briefings and defending Trump at every turn, she and the president she serves are still popular in Arkansas. Trump trounced Hillary Clinton there in 2016, and polls conducted after the 2018 midterm elections showed that the vast majority of Arkansas Republican voters still supported the president.
Her friends say Sanders has always had bigger ambitions — “Sarah can’t sit still for long,” one of them said. The possibility of Sanders’ running for office has been a frequent topic of conversation in the White House for more than a year. Rumors about her running for Senate to replace Cotton if he were tapped for a job in the administration were quickly replaced with gossip about her running for governor.
