LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson is dropping out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination after finishing sixth in Iowa’s leadoff caucuses. Hutchinson said Tuesday his poor performance in Iowa showed him he has no path to the GOP nomination. Hutchinson’s exit comes after he failed to register beyond 1 percentage point in most polls.

Hutchinson was the last GOP candidate remaining in the race who was willing to directly take on former President Donald Trump, the front-runner.
