WASHINGTON, DC: Arkansas Gov Sarah Huckabee Sanders has made it clear that she intends to remain in her role as governor rather than join a potential Donald Trump administration should he win in November.

In a recent interview with Talk Business & Politics, Sanders expressed her commitment to her current position, stating, "I love the job I have. I’m excited to be back in Arkansas." She further elaborated on her plans, indicating a desire to continue her work as governor for the foreseeable future. 

"I think we’re doing really great things and I look forward to keeping this job for the next six and a half years," said the Republican, hinting at her intention to run for reelection in 2026.

Before taking office in Arkansas, Sanders served as White House press secretary under Trump from 2017 to 2019. She is currently the youngest governor in the country

As a staunch supporter of Trump, Sanders has always defended the former president against criticism and endorsed his reelection bid last November. However, she noted earlier this year that she is not interested in being his running mate.

"I’ve been a strong advocate for the president since the early 2016 campaign when I worked for him," stated Sanders.

She added, "I’ve been an outspoken supporter; I think there are very few people that you’ll find that have been probably as publicly supportive of this president than I have. I feel very confident he’s going to win in November. I’m proud of the fact that I get to stand and support him."

Reflecting on the upcoming presidential race, Sanders expressed it's a "very different" election. "It feels the same to me maybe in some ways, but you have two people who have now actually served as president and they have very clear records of what they have done in the office, not just what they’ve talked about, but what they’ve actually done," told the Arkansas governor to Talk Business & Politics.

Sanders also discussed her efforts to reduce Arkansas’ income tax to zero, highlighting the recent special session where state lawmakers passed cuts to the top personal income and corporate income tax rates.

She noted, "People are generally happy when they’re paying less taxes, so that’s a big win, and when you’re competing with Texas on one side, Tennessee on the other, and even the other surrounding states that had a lower tax rate prior to the tax cuts we passed this week, it makes it harder for businesses to want to come in because their employees aren’t going to make as much money for how much they’re paying them."

"So, it’s a great recruiting tool," remarked Sanders.

Netizens were quick to voice their opinions regarding Sanders' decision to prioritize her role as the governor of Arkansas over a potential position in a future Trump administration.

One wrote, "Many would make a similar choice. Trump is toxic. I'm afraid he may end up with what's left," and another said, "Can't blame her, she doesn't want to be falsely arrested and jailed, like all the other Trump people getting persecuted."

"Could she be smart enough to know that it isn't going to win?" stated a person. One more remarked, "Can you blame her...so many it seems get indicted and subponead later with their public careers tarnished...I'm not saying it's trumps fault just what happens to all his backers with substance." 

"The only way Trump will be president is an armed insurrection," argued an individual.
