Sarah Sanders Weighs In on Possible Presidential Bid

Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR) weighed in on Sunday on a possible future presidential bid — and on whether or not her father, who ran for president himself in 2008 and 2016, would support her.

Sanders, who previously served as White House Press Secretary during President Donald Trump’s first term, joined host Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union” to reflect on the Democrat Party’s sweep of the 2026 midterm elections and what she expected to see from the Republican Party in the future.

“When I first met you, Governor, we were in Des Moines and you were helping run a small but formidable Huckabee for President headquarters in Des Moines, that was for your father, Mike Huckabee’s 2008 presidential campaign,” Bash began. “He won the Iowa caucuses, by the way. Would your dad like to see you launch your own bid for the White House?”

“I don’t know,” Sanders laughed. “Given the fact that he knows what that means, I’m not sure that he would wish that on me in some cases, but he ran, as you know, a — just a bootstrap campaign in 2008, came from behind — a victory that changed the course of his adult life after that in a significant way and gave him a major platform to talk about issues he cared about.”

“But what about you?” Bash asked.

“For me, personally, I just got reelected as the Governor of Arkansas. I love what I’m doing, and I look forward to holding this job for the next four years,” Sanders replied. “My plan is to focus and do as best as I can lifting up the people of my state, moving my state forward, and really just keep y focus there for right now.”

Bash tried one more time, asking directly if Sanders was “committing” to serving her full four-year term as governor, which would necessarily rule out a 2028 presidential bid.

“Well, at that point I’m termed out anyway unless they change the rules,” Sanders laughed, noting that she is ineligible to run for another term as governor due to her state’s term limits. “My max out is in four years — they’re going to kick me out whether I like it or not. But ultimately the simple answer is I like what I’m doing.”
