Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is dropping out of the presidential race today and will endorse former President Donald Trump, who continues to hold a strong lead in the upcoming states.
The pro-life governor’s decision essentially leaves the race to between Trump and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley.
“We don’t have a clear path to victory,” DeSantis said in a video posted on X.
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts,” DeSantis said, quoting Winston Churchill.
He said the country can not survive of “our cities crumble” and kids are “indoctrinated,” and he told voters that the Washington D.C. elites “do not care about you.
“Reversing the decline of this nation requires leadership that brings big results,” DeSantis said the video.
“I am today suspending my campaign,” he said before announcing he was endorsing Trump.
