“I wish Governor Huckabee well, he’s doing very well, and I’m confident he’ll continue to do well,” Jeremy Hutchinson said. “I don’t think my support matters much anyway. It’s not going to affect either one of their fortunes.”

Jeremy Hutchinson said he thought Thompson had a broader base of support and could better compete in the general election.

Huckabee, when asked about the younger Hutchinson’s endorsement, said: “The more mature, seasoned and experienced Hutchinsons are with me, and I’ll leave it at that and thank them for it.”
