"Ron DeSantis Withdraws from 2024 Presidential Race, Endorses Trump Before New Hampshire Primary"

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has dropped out of the 2024 Republican presidential race, citing a lack of clear path to victory and acknowledging that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance. DeSantis took a parting shot at opponent Nikki Haley, endorsing Trump and criticizing Haley as a representative of the "old Republican guard." After placing second in Iowa, DeSantis failed to articulate his path to the nomination and dropped out of the race two days before the New Hampshire primary, aiming to preserve his political capital for a potential 2028 run.
