Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that he is suspending his presidential campaign and endorsing former president and Republican primary frontrunner Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
Less than a week after placing second in the Iowa Caucus behind Trump, DeSantis posted<\/a> a video to X on Sunday, explaining that he was suspending his campaign.<\/p>\n\u201cNow, following our second-place finish in Iowa, we\u2019ve prayed and deliberated on the way forward,” DeSantis said. “If there was anything I could do to produce a favorable outcome, more campaign stops, more interviews, I would do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cBut I can\u2019t ask our supporters to volunteer their time and donate their resources. We don\u2019t have a clear path to victory. Accordingly, I am today suspending my campaign.”<\/p>\nThe Florida governor went on to state that it was \u201cclear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance,” adding that \u201cTrump is superior to the current incumbent, Joe Biden.\u201d<\/p>\n“He has my endorsement because we can\u2019t go back to the old Republican guard of yesteryear, or repackage form of warmed-over corporatism that Nikki Haley represents,\u201d DeSantis said.<\/p>\n\n\u201cSuccess is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.\u201d<\/p>\n– Winston Churchill pic.twitter.com\/ECoR8YeiMm<\/a><\/p>\n\u2014 Ron DeSantis (@RonDeSantis) January 21, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nDeSantis was considered a strong candidate, with some prominent conservative activists, among them Bob Vander Plaats, president of the Iowa-based advocacy group The FAMiLY Leader, hailing<\/a> the governor as having a strong chance of winning the caucus.<\/p>\nHowever, last week, Trump won the Iowa contest with around 51% of the vote, while DeSantis received 21% support, and former South Carolina Gov.
