Sanders and her allies have started making calls to donors and Republican operatives in the state. Though neither Sanders nor her associates have directly sought support for a potential campaign, some who have spoken with them see the outreach as a sign that she’s weighing a run.

If she runs, Sanders will be able to tap into the massive network her father, Mike Huckabee, built over a decade as governor. She’d also probably benefit from her sky-high name recognition, her connection to Trump, who remains popular in the state, and her relationship with another influential politician there: Republican Sen. John Boozman. Sanders managed Boozman’s 2010 Senate campaign.
