Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida and a contender for the 2024 Republican primaries, has dropped out of the race. The decision to drop out followed reports earlier today from Bloomberg that his resignation from the race was coming.
His departure comes ahead of the New Hampshire primaries, which are slated to occur on Tuesday. The decision to drop out is said to be in an effort to save face from a potential third place ballot finish, with DeSantis estimated to pull just 5.2% of support in the state based on recent data from FiveThirtyEight.
DeSantis endorsed Donald Trump in making his exit.
