Former President Trump on Sunday congratulated Ron DeSantis on his “great campaign” for president after the Florida governor withdrew from the 2024 race.
Mr. DeSantis ended his campaign and endorsed Mr. Trump, saying in an article in X: “It's clear that a large majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance. They've seen his presidency hampered by persistent resistance, and they've seen Democrats “I see them as using the law” to attack him even now. ”
Speaking at a campaign event in Rochester, New Hampshire, ahead of the 2024 primary, President Trump praised DeSantis, saying he did a “very good job.” He also said he looks forward to working with his former presidential candidates to defeat President Biden.

People who voted for DeSantis tend to be people with traditional conservative beliefs, and that naturally applies to Donald Trump as well. I think his challenge, both here and heading into the general election, is to win over Nikki Haley voters, win over establishment voters, win over independents. “That's why I think the vice presidential nomination is so important,” McEnany said. He spoke on “The Big Weekend Show''.
“We have to choose people who will help bring that bloc in, because I believe that conservatives, the base people, come rain or shine, they’re going to come home and they’re going to show up. You need an independent person, you need a suburban woman, you need that tone.”
