WASHINGTON ā€“ Former President Donald Trump secured Arkansasā€™ six electoral votes on Tuesday, winning the heavily Republican state for the third presidential election in a row. Trump had the backing of the stateā€™s top Republican figures, including Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Sanders, who had served as Trumpā€™s White House press secretary, endorsed the former presidentā€™s bid and campaigned for him. Former Gov. Asa Hutchinson ran unsuccessfully for the GOP nomination and declined to endorse Trumpā€™s reelection. Democrats have not won a presidential election in Arkansas since 1996, when native son Bill Clinton won reelection. The Associated Press declared Trump the winner at 8:30 p.m. EST.
