Salem, N.H. — Ron DeSantis dropped out of the presidential race on Sunday afternoon and endorsed former president Donald Trump, announcing the suspension of an embattled campaign in a video posted on X just two days before the first-in-the-nation New Hampshire primary.
DeSantis acknowledged in the video announcement on Sunday afternoon that he no longer had a “clear path to victory” in 2024 but emphasized that his political career is just beginning. “While this campaign has ended, the mission continues. Down here in Florida, we will continue to show the country how to lead,” the governor said. Coinciding with the video announcement, DeSantis canceled a meet-and-greet event with voters originally scheduled for 5 p.m. in Manchester, N.H.
