Mike Huckabee Hopes to Broaden Appeal With Focus on Foreign Policy, Economics

David Brody •   May 5, 2015

Mike Huckabee, who announced his candidacy for president this morning in Hope, Ark., tells The Daily Signal this election will be dominated equally by foreign policy and the “economics of the working-class people” in America.

Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, spoke with The Daily Signal during a recent trip to Iowa. He is the sixth Republican to formally enter the 2016 race.

“Wages have been stagnant for the bottom 90 percent of Americans for 40 years,” Huckabee says. “With all the talk of the economy in recovery, I’m talking to Americans every day whose economy is not recovering. They’re working harder than they were a year ago, two, three, four years ago but they’re not better off.”

This is Huckabee’s second presidential run. As a candidate in 2008, he used his strong ties to evangelicals to win Iowa’s Republican caucuses and place second in South Carolina’s Republican primary. He withdrew from the race in March 2008.

Today, even with President Trump’s victory, leftist elites have their tentacles in every aspect of our government.

The Daily Signal’s own Tyler O’Neil exposes this leftist cabal in his new book, The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government.

In this book, O’Neil reveals how the Left’s NGO apparatus pursues its woke agenda, maneuvering like an octopus by circumventing Congress and entrenching its interests in the federal government.
