Ron DeSantis’s distant loss to Donald J. Trump in Iowa dealt a devastating blow to his campaign. His exit caps a spectacular political failure and leaves Mr. Trump and Nikki Haley locked in a two-person contest.

I have seen one other source, so unverified, but just reported 30 minutes ago.

After the endorsement why would Haley continue the farce?

Crappiest lukewarm endorsement ever. 😆. What a tool!

America's best Governor, so there's that... He just had bad timing running for POTUS.

It wasn’t DeSantis’ time, any more than it was Trump’s time in 2000 or 2012. He’s the most conservative governor in the nation, and I expect he’ll have more presidential runs in the future - the nation will do well with him in the White House someday.

Let’s hope not. He is definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed.

If the situation was reversed would Trump endorse him at all? Or run third party? I believe probably the latter.

Something no one seems to remember: when DeSantis entered the race, the odds were less than even that Trump would survive the lawfare that was being thrown against him, and there needed to be someone who could have a running campaign as Trump’s successor.

What Trump has accomplished in tying up the lawfare attackers in knots, plus the revenge-vote that wants to support Trump because the voters understand that Trump is in the line of fire and we’re next, made the DeSantis campaign unnecessary. That’s the best of all possible situations, so let’s start really taking it to the left with TRUMP!

No he won’t have any more presidential runs in the future. He showed everyone what a total deepstate tool he is. He’ll be !lucky to run for the Senate after this.

Florida Man does the right thing.
Good on him.

Now, will he help our PDJT, The GOAT, win the election, or just pout and piss sour grapes?

He can begin his rehab right now.
Acknowledge that now was not his time, PDJT is the Candidate for American Renewal,and support a broad MAGA agenda.

We can hope that Florida Man will once again be the great Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
The country needs THAT RonD back.

Overall, I think that Trump having some Primary challengers has been a good thing. It has demonstrated that Trump is still sharp as ever and that his support is still strong.

Any endorsement is a good endorsement. He could have backed Nikki Hailey. No, this seals the deal but, Nikki can now rally all the hate trump voters. But, I think the Trump steamroller will flatten her in the coming week.

It’s a one on run race between Trump and Binkley now! Could go either way!

What it was, was honest: Trump deserves the endorsement, we've disagreed over COVID but that isn't enough to keep me from being on Trump's side.

Cruz was an ass in 2016, and I was a Cruzer before his ass-ness became obvious. DeSantis is someone who's been screwed over by the GOPe and was too naive to realize it until it was too late; let's hope he's learned a lesson here for future campaigning.

Welcome back to Florida, Ron; the weather here is pretty d*mn good this time of year.

The left wanted to take him out early they knew how to hurt him early. Just like Rubio and Walker. The left goes for the kill shot early.
