Florida Governor Ron DeSantis withdraws from the Republican primary, he announced on the social media X Sunday. “After our second place in Iowa, we have said prayers and considered the way forward. If there was anything I could do to create a positive outcome – more election rallies or more interviews – I would do it,” he says. He is now giving his support to former President Donald Trump, who polls find is the favorite to become the Republican presidential nominee. /ritzau/
