On Sunday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis withdrew from the race to nominate for the presidency of the United States from the Republican Party, and announced that he would support the leader of the race, former US President Donald Trump.
DeSantis announced the suspension of his election campaign.
In a video, which he posted on the “X” platform, previously Twitter, DeSantis, who came in second last week in the Republican primary elections in Iowa after Trump, said that he cannot “ask our supporters to volunteer their time and donate their resources if we do not have a clear path to victory.” “Therefore, today I am suspending my campaign.”
He added, “It is clear in my opinion that the majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance.”
The 45-year-old Florida governor continued, “I had disagreements with Donald Trump, as well as regarding the Corona virus.”
DeSantis won 21 percent of the votes in Iowa, while the former president won 51 percent of the votes.
The Florida governor’s announcement to suspend his campaign comes two days before the Republican primary in New Hampshire.
