As other Republican presidential candidates sought to slam the Department of Justice's latest indictment on Tuesday against former President Donald Trump, one 2024 rival had a different, more opportunistic tone.

Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson reacted to Trump's third indictment over efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and actions regarding the Jan. 6 Capitol riot by fundraising for his presidential campaign."I have always said that Donald Trump is morally responsible for the attack on our democracy," Hutchinson said."Now, with today’s indictment, our system of Justice will determine whether he is criminally responsible. Help me qualify for the debates.

Hutchinson faces an uphill battle to winning the Republican nomination in 2024. He currently polls at 0.6%, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average. The former governor has not yet achieved the 40,000 unique donors that the Republican National Committee requires of any candidate who participates in the first primary debate on Aug. 23 in Milwaukee. Of those, the RNC requires at least 200 unique donors from 20-plus states and/or territories.
