Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced earlier today that he is suspending his campaign and endorsing Donald Trump for president. He made the announcement on his X account, stating that he saw "no clear path to victory" after his second-place finish in the Iowa Caucus. He expressed great concern over the Republican Establishment's candidate, Nikki Haley, who he said represents corporatism and caving to woke ideology.
Governor DeSantis called out Democrats using lawfare to attack President Trump and stated that Republican voters made their choice clear in the Iowa Caucus. "We cannot succeed as a country if we allow our nation to be invaded, our currency to be debased, our cities to crumble, and our kids to be indoctrinated," he said before throwing his support behind President Trump.
Governor DeSantis has three years remaining in his second term as governor of Florida and may only serve two consecutive terms according to Florida law. He must step down for at least one term before being reelected.
