Ron DeSantis dropped out of the 2024 presidential race ahead of the New Hampshire primary. The decision likely stemmed from his campaign's expensive spending and lackluster results in Iowa. DeSantis endorsed Donald Trump and justified it by criticizing the old Republican guard and endorsing Trump's superiority over Biden.
