The Republican presidential candidate Ron Desantis, once considered the greatest competitor of Donald Trump for the presidential election, dropped out of the primary race on Sundayreports “Reuters”.
The 45-year-old governor of the state of Florida announced his decision in a video posted on X.
This relatively early dropout highlights the lead of the former president, considered the favorite in the nomination.
DeSantis’ support is believed to have been in decline for several months due to his campaign’s flawed strategy and failure to communicate with voters.
We recall that this is another Republican candidate who retires.
Vivek Ramaswamy, multi-millionaire, former executive in the field of biotech, pulled out of the race for the White House on Monday and endorsed Donald Trump after failing to garner enough votes in the Iowa caucuses.
Chris Christie is dropping out of the race for the White House
Trump’s vehement critic never gathered enough support
Before him, this decision was made by the former governor of New Jersey Chris Christie.
Christie and DeSantis are known critics of Trump, including the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and the cases against him for election fraud.
Thus, the former US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley is now the last Republican in the race with any chance to deny Trump the nomination.
Trump won by a landslide in the Iowa caucuses earlier this week.
The winner of the Republican nomination race will face the president Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee in the November election.
