Sarah Sanders raises $1m in four days in run for Arkansas governor

Former Trump press secretary's early haul signals how expensive the 2022 race could become

The former White House press secretary, Sarah Sanders, has raised more than $1m in the first four days of her bid for Arkansas governor, her campaign has said.

Sanders announced on Monday she was running for Arkansas governor with a nearly eight-minute video that embraced former president Donald Trump, even as the Senate prepared for an impeachment trial on charges he incited the deadly riot at the US Capitol on 6 January.
