Announce Ron DeSantis Governor of Florida and the most prominent competitor to the former US president Donald Trump On Sunday, he withdrew from the presidential race from the Republican Party, declaring his support for Trump.
DeSantis said – while announcing his withdrawal in a video recording on the X platform – “Today I announce the cessation of my campaign for the presidential race. I am proud of my commitment to the promises I made, and I will not stop now.”
He added, “It is clear to me that the majority of Republican votes want to give Trump another chance. I have signed a pledge to support the Republican candidate, and I will honor this pledge.”
DeSantis, 45, was seen as the Republicans’ best chance to overtake the former president, and was widely considered one of the leading contenders for the party’s nomination and a natural heir to Trump due to his confrontational style and ultra-conservative views.
DeSantis outperformed Trump in several polls in early 2023, but his popularity has been declining for several months due to his campaign’s flawed strategy and apparent lack of flexibility in his dealings with voters regarding campaign matters, as well as Trump’s so far strong control over a large portion of the party’s electoral base. .
DeSantis’s withdrawal means that the former US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley She is now the last Republican challenger who can deny Trump a win in the presidential nomination.
The winner of the Republican nomination will face the incumbent president joe bidenthe likely Democratic candidate in the general elections that will be held next November.
