Deep dives

DeSantis drops out of 2024 presidential race

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis unexpectedly drops out of the 2024 presidential race just before the New Hampshire primary. DeSantis endorses former President Donald Trump as the 2024 nominee, acknowledging the majority of Republican primary voters' support for Trump. DeSantis's campaign struggled from the start, facing internal dysfunction and an inability to translate his success in Florida to the national stage. Despite having well-funded operations and high-profile endorsements, DeSantis's polling numbers fell by roughly 68%. This development solidifies the Republican primary as a one-on-one race between Trump and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.
