Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Ron DeSantis Drops Out of 2024 Presidential Race
Caption: Ron DeSantis Drops Out of 2024 Presidential Race. On Jan. 21, two days ahead of the New Hampshire primary, DeSantis ended his presidential campaign, CNBC reports. "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 if we don’t have a clear path to victory." "Accordingly, I am today suspending my campaign." DeSantis went on to endorse Donald Trump. "Trump is superior to the current incumbent Joe Biden. That is clear." "I signed a pledge to support the Republican nominee and I will honor that pledge." "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." Ron DeSantis, via X. Trump thanked DeSantis for his endorsement. "As you know, he left the campaign trail today at 3 p.m. and in so doing, he was very gracious and he endorsed me, so I appreciate that." "I also look forward to working with Ron and everybody else to defeat crooked Joe Biden." Donald Trump, via statement. Trump also said that the "DeSanctimonious" nickname was "officially retired," according to HuffPost. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
