Former President Trump congratulated Ron DeSantis Sunday for running a “great campaign” for president after the Florida governor dropped out of the 2024 race. 

DeSantis ended his campaign and endorsed Trump, saying in part on X, “It’s clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance. They watched his presidency get stymied by relentless resistance, and they see Democrats using lawfare to this day to attack him.” 

Trump spoke at a campaign event in Rochester, N.H., ahead of the 2024 primary and praised DeSantis for “doing a very good job.” He also said he looks forward to working with the former presidential candidate and others to defeat President Biden. 

A CNN/University of New Hampshire poll found Trump leads Nikki Haley 50% – 39% respectively, just two days before the primary on Tuesday.
