Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has officially dropped out of the presidential race, ending his hopes of securing the Republican nomination. After finishing second to former President Donald Trump in the Iowa caucuses, DeSantis and his closest advisers had a series of discussions culminating in the decision to suspend the campaign. Despite originally planning to compete through the New Hampshire primary and into South Carolina, DeSantis faced a lack of fundraising ability for his campaign, which ultimately led to his decision to withdraw. DeSantis had originally had aspirations of challenging Trump and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, but his campaign’s finances and lack of voter traction ultimately led to this decision.
While this is the end of the line for DeSantis in the 2024 race, many of his allies believe that he will be a contender in the 2028 election, free from an incumbent president or other prominent challengers. Until then, DeSantis plans to take a step back and spend time with his family in Florida.
Summery :
– Florida Governor Ron DeSantis decided to pull the plug on his presidential campaign after discussing with his advisers.
– The culmination of nearly a week of conversations between DeSantis and his team began after he placed second in the Iowa caucus.
– Despite originally intending to stay in the South Carolina race, money was drying up and polls showed him in single digits in New Hampshire.
– DeSantis ultimately made the decision to suspend his campaign in a post on X, in which he also endorsed former President Trump.
– His campaign was known for its strategic, tactical and rhetorical blunders and for transferring more than $80 million in leftover state-level campaign funds to a super PAC.
– Those close to DeSantis do not believe this will be the end of his political career and expect him to be back in 2028.
