Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has suspended his 2024 presidential campaign and endorsed former President Donald Trump.
DeSantis announced in a video posted to social media ahead of Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary.
The governor quoted Winston Churchill, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that count.”

Bloomberg had reported just minutes before that he would drop out and endorse Trump in the coming days.
The report cited “people briefed on the campaign’s conversations.”

“Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his top aides are having internal discussions about when and how he should drop out of the 2024 presidential race, according to people briefed on the campaign’s conversations.”
The report continued, “New polling from CNN and the University of New Hampshire shows DeSantis earning just 6% of the state’s Republican vote, whereas Trump has 50% and Haley has 39%.”
Many on social media noticed that DeSantis had cleared his campaign calendar over the weekend.
DeSantis came in second in Iowa, after Trump, and before Haley — but the former South Carolina governor is expected to perform better in New Hampshire, which is more liberal.
A poll conducted ahead of the Iowa caucuses by NBC News, the Des Moines Register, and Iowa pollster Selzer & Co. found that Haley supporters in Iowa are twice as likely to vote for Joe Biden as they are Donald Trump, should she not win the Republican nomination.
The pollsters asked likely Iowa caucus-goers, “If Donald Trump is the Republican nominee in the general election in November, would you vote for him, vote for Joe Biden, vote for independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., or vote for some other third-party candidate?”

Good for Ron
My guess is most of the DeSantis haters here are actually leftwing trolls trying to stir up animosity and division.
And Haley will be going down soon also!
Oh wait...
Give me a break.
Thank you Regan
If it was propaganda, and not the obvious and regrettable truth, Trump would be right now be finishing his second term as President.
Trump accomplished great things for 3 years, and then screwed up completely on Covid.

Wouldn’t surprise me
***Good for DeSantis. I’ve always been a Trump guy- 100%- but the DeSantis hate on this site made me sick. Good to see he did the right thing.***
I totally agree with you.
I second your post.
Devere
Your comment is disgusting. Well, the comment to which you responded was a bit nasty.
But two wrongs don’t make things alright.
That is right we are a bunch of "deplorables". But why don't you say how you really feel...
I am a sore loser, Jeb, George, Karl Rove and I want the USA and President Trump to lose in November.
What an absolute idiot! He was easily the second most popular Republican. He was doing great for Florida and had Trump VP written all over him. Then the Uniparty bedazzled him with cash and promises of DC glory. Before you knew it, he was peddling the Uniparty J6 narrative. Thank God, he exposed himself as another Pence before the damage was done.
Sounds like you've got something against Italians, that it?
DeSantis is the Governor of the State of Florida and was duly elected by the people of the state. He represents us. So be respectful of that fact on FR threads, and keep your scatological insults to yourself.
That’s not logical.
Look, he was so in the tank for the Uniparty that he was peddling the Biden J6 narrative. It’s a shame the Uniparty faithful are taking the news so hard.
DeSaster was told he'd be King if he was able to get rid of Trump once and for all. He saw stars, but now those stars are from his wife slamming the hood on his head.
Haley is celebrating.
I think it is people who know he met with Merrick Garland just before the Mar-a-Lago raid. It is MAGA people who saw that at the very moment DC was going in for the kill, and Trump needed allies, DeSantis saw an opportunity for himself.
He showed himself to be a disloyal prick, only in it for himself.
