Formerly seen as a major challenger of Donald Trump in the Republican presidential primary, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis stated on Sunday that his campaign has been suspended and that he now supports the former president.
DeSantis, who had previously sought to present himself as Trump’s opponent, declared his intention to support Trump in a video posted on the social media site X.

“Following our second-place finish in Iowa, we’ve 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. But I can’t ask our supporters to volunteer their time and donate their resources.”
“We don’t have a clear path to victory. Accordingly, I am today suspending my campaign,” he continued.
“It’s clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance,” DeSantis then noted, adding: “He has my endorsement because we can’t go back to the old Republican guard of yesteryear, a repackaged form of warmed-over corporatism that Nikki Haley represents.”
