“ I am suspending my campaign today “, he said in a video published on X (formerly Twitter). “ It is clear to me that the majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance. »
Ron DeSantis, with tough positions on immigration and abortion, came second in the Iowa caucuses on Monday, far behind Donald Trump, with 21% of the vote against 51% for the former president. “ I can’t ask our volunteers to donate their time and money if we don’t have a clear path to victory “, he justified in his video.
“ I had disagreements with Donald Trump, like on the coronavirus pandemic “, but “ Trump is better than the current incumbent, Joe Biden », added the 45-year-old man.
His announcement comes two days before the primaries in the American state New Hampshire.
