Earlier in the program, Bash noted that half of Trump supporters said they had no plans to get a coronavirus vaccine.

‘Well, I’ ve thought a lot about it and I think it’s a natural resistance to the government and skepticism about it. “You’re looking at the breadth of support here in Arkansas for President Trump, and you have rural voters, you have minority voters and their hesitation is worrying, not only here, but across the country as well,” Hutchinson said.

“And I expect that as a country we will get the vaccination rate of 50 percent of the population, but we are going to get harder from 50 percent to 70 percent, and that is about overcoming the skepticism,” he added. .

Bash also asked Hutchinson if he thought Trump should be more aggressive in his support for the vaccine. Trump expressed his support for vaccination in an interview last week, but he did not participate in the announcement by the civil service that other former U.S. presidents had participated in proposing the vaccinations.

‘Well, I’m glad he did – get the vaccine [and] it promotes, ”Hutchinson said. “I do not know the story of why he was not with the other presidents in the PSA. Any message is useful and I think we should have our leaders, we should have sports figures, we should have different representatives of our community, including our political leaders, says [the] vaccine is important. ”

During the same interview, Hutchinson confirmed that he planned to lift the mask mandate in Arkansas at the end of March. Bash asked why the mask mandate would be lifted, given the evidence gathered during the course of the pandemic.

“We’re been a year on this and we know so much more today than we did a year ago. And so we had to educate people to understand the importance of the mask, and I expect that even if we take away the mask mandate that people continue to use mask if you can not safely distance yourself, “Hutchinson said.
