Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday dropped out of the 2024 Presidential race and endorsed former President Donald Trump. 

"We don't have a clear path to victory," DeSantis said in a video posted on X.

DeSantis left the race before New Hampshire residents headed to the polls Tuesday to vote in the nation's first Republican primary.

By exiting the race, the 2024 Republican primary is now down to just Trump and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley.
