Sarah Huckabee Sanders is set to become the first woman to hold the office
Sarah Huckabee Sanders is set to become the first woman to hold the office in the southern state.
She follows in the footsteps of her father, Mike Huckabee, who once held the same role and ran twice for president.
Other former Arkansas governors famously include Bill Clinton, the Democrat, who used the office as a springboard to the US presidency.
Sanders’ Democratic rival, Chris Jones -a Baptist minister and nuclear engineer who would have been the first black governor of the state had he won –trailed her by double digits during the race.
Sanders had surgery & still won
Sanders had surgery in September for thyroid cancer. After the operation, her doctors declared her cancer-free.
She promised to use the state’s top office to confront the “radical left” and President Biden.
During her two years as White House spokeswoman, she scaled back daily briefings after repeated clashes with journalists and was mercilessly lampooned by the late-night shows.
