Arkansas Gov. did not say. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) in an interview on Sunday whether she has spoken to former President Trump about his 2024 White House campaign or whether he would endorse him.

“My focus right now is on 2022, winning the election in November, preparing by transitioning and preparing to take office, as I did this past week,” Sanders said on “Fox News Sunday” with Shannon Bream. “I love the president. I have a good relationship with him. I know our country would be better off if he was in office today instead of Joe Biden.”

“But, right now, my focus is not 2024, it’s focused here, in Arkansas, on doing what we can to empower the people of this state, and making sure that I’m delivering on the promises that I laid out on top of the course of the last two years,” Sanders added.

Sanders, a former Trump White House press secretary, was sworn in as governor of Arkansas last week, becoming the first woman to lead the state. Trump congratulated Sanders in a social media post after he was sworn into office, adding that he is an “amazing person and will be a truly incredible Governor.”

When pressed Sunday on when he would decide whether to endorse Trump, he reiterated that his focus is not on 2024.

“My focus is not on 2024,” Sanders said. “It depends on what we can deliver in this legislative session. I will not set an arbitrary timeline. I’m not really focused on that, but focused on what we can do to affect change and fulfill the promises we made during the campaign here in Arkansas.”

In his first few days in office, Sanders moved quickly to ban the term “Latinx” from government documents and target critical race theory by requiring state officials to review policy to eliminate teaching that he says will “indoctrinate students with ideologies.”
