Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders released her new book, “Unapologetic: Clarity and Conviction in a World Gone Crazy,” on Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2026. The book, available at a Barnes & Noble in Little Rock, Arkansas, comes amid Republican losses in the midterm elections. Sanders, who won reelection last week, praises President Donald Trump’s leadership in the book, though she calls for “commonsense” guardrails on artificial intelligence.
Sanders, who served as White House press secretary during Trump’s first term, highlights his influence on her decision to run for governor. She writes that she believed “the best way to fix those issues would be through bold, new leadership, like what President Trump had brought to America.” However, she distances herself from Trump on the issue of artificial intelligence, noting her opposition to a provision of the One Big Beautiful Bill tax and spending cut law that would have prevented states from regulating AI. The measure was stripped from the legislation following Sanders’ and other Republicans’ objections.
The book also details Sanders’ efforts to build a new prison in Franklin County, which she put on hold after facing resistance from locals and members of the Legislature from both parties. She labels her opponents, including some members of her own party, as the “coalition of the unwilling.”
