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?”

I liked Ron. Except for all the lies, anyway. He is one big liar.
I wonder what President Trump will do now wrt Ron DeSantis. I suspect that he will quit calling him Ron De Sanctimonious. He has always been gracious. He might again show him great warmth. But I think that President Trump was right to say - much earlier in the campaign - that Ron DeSantis decimated his political standing and squandered his capital by running this time around.
I always thought it was the Ron supporters.
These MAGA idiots have made me consider the unthinkable. I just may vote for a Kennedy.
Well good for you! I suppose that the Cowboy is a symbol of America. And I could tell you a bunch of stories about tough cowboys I knew who were real and not symbols.
Unlike you I actually grew up with cows and horses. I was chasing cows, feeding cows, helping bail hay and castrating little bulls from the time that I was about 10. The back of my head is so bashed up from falling off of horses I was riding bare back and getting kicked that it is a miracle I can even form a sentence. My teachers used to pull me out of class frequently because they thought my dad was beating the crap out of me.
I chose my fireman screen name because that is what I did for 25 years not because it was a symbol of anything.
Always cleansing to show one’s ‘primary colors’...
Many of them are trolls too. Especially the nastiest ones.
We told for months MAGA didn’t need our votes. I’m not going to make them liars.
President and VP can’t come from the same state otherwise they forfeit that state’s electoral votes should they win. So unless Trump is willing to move out of Florida, DeSantis can’t be his VP.
+1
That is so cute... you even picked up the jargon when you were behind liberal lines. Can you tell us a tall tale about Cornpop, and the smooth bleached hair on the back of your legs.
I would have gone to Wyoming, but my Messianic Congregation near Philly is very important to me, and I’m active in it. I’m 0laning on going back this year. Whete are you from?
I think Trump should have DeSantis talking about the success of Florida elections. Discuss how it was fixed so that people could see how many votes there were, how many were still out, how voting rolls have been cleaned up and the fact that the entire state was counted before midnight. Discuss no suspicious mail in votes, no trunk loads of ballots being delivered, no votes counted while voting centers were closed. Make DeSantis talk about election integrity and how there were few problems in Florida while other states had thousands of suspicious and unverified ballots counted.
AND likewise Duh-Saintis demonstrated he could NOT survive without MAGA voters .. Your side has been neutered ... and I do not care who you vote for ... But stop being a hypocrite .... When you trash MAGA take the return volley with dignity not whinning little itches.
No, he did that because he was PO’d at them for choosing Haley over him. That is pretty hard for someone with such a big an ego that he has to wear lifts in his boots.
Heh. "Unity."
MAGA says they don’t need DeSimp votes. I don’t want to make a liar out of them.
—> These MAGA idiots have made me consider the unthinkable. I just may vote for a Kennedy.
I don’t think I know anyone who cast a vote based on what others did or said.
Seems… You either support making america great again or not.
“Trump is better than Biden”
What an uplifting endorsement. 😆. Get lost Ron.
