RON DeSantis has officially dropped out of the presidential race.
The Florida governor posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday to announce the suspension of his campaign in a video, where he referenced former United Kingdom Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts,” DeSantis wrote in the post’s caption.
In the video, he explained his feelings about the importance of his campaign and his role as Florida’s governor.
DeSantis later noted that he would endorse former President Donald Trump for the presidency in 2024 after he decided to step back.
“We can, in fact, succeed again as a nation — nobody worked harder, and we left it all out on the field,” the Florida governor said of his campaign run.
He added that he couldn’t ask his supporters for more if there wasn’t a “clear path to victory.”
“It’s clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance,” DeSantis continued.
“They watched his presidency get stymied by relentless resistance, and they see Democrats using lawfare this day to attack him.”
“Trump is superior to the current incumbent, Joe Biden,” DeSantis added.
“I signed a pledge to support the Republican nominee, and I will honor that pledge — he has my endorsement because we can not go back to the old Republican guard of yesteryear.”
