Ron DeSantis, once seen as a strong contender for the GOP nomination, has dropped out of the 2024 presidential race. Despite being Trump's biggest threat, DeSantis announced his withdrawal, acknowledging that Republican primary voters overwhelmingly prefer giving another chance to Donald Trump. His decision to suspend his campaign and endorse Trump solidifies the former president's hold on the party's base.

With DeSantis out of the race, Trump inches closer to securing the Republican nomination. The Governor's awkwardness with voters and challenges in gaining support were significant obstacles. His exit paves the way for Trump's domination in the upcoming elections, showcasing the enduring influence of the former president in the GOP landscape.

In a surprising turn of events, Desantis endorsed Trump just two days before the New Hampshire primary, adding another twist to the ever-evolving political scenario. Despite initial projections, DeSantis's campaign faced multiple setbacks, leading to his ultimate decision to step back and support Trump's bid for the presidency.

The end of DeSantis's campaign marks a pivotal moment in the 2024 election cycle, highlighting the powerful sway of Trump within the Republican Party and the challenges faced by his competitors.
