Fox News host Laura Ingraham suggested that potential 2024 Republican presidential candidates Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis should withdraw from the race and endorse former President Donald Trump.
Ingraham expressed that while DeSantis has a promising political future, Trump’s enduring influence makes it unlikely for him to win the presidency at this time.
She advised Haley to align with the GOP’s populist stance and actively campaign for Trump to potentially regain trust among the party’s base.
“Now, let’s start with DeSantis. He out-performed last night. He beat Nikki Haley’s war chest, so he has a lot to be proud of. As a candidate on the trail, he worked his butt off. And people forget how young he is,” Ingraham said.
“So, with what – three more years as Florida’s governor? He can build an even greater track record of success in that very important state. So, a future in the Republican Party for him could be really bright.”
“But he’s simply not gonna be president this time around. I know it’s hard to hear. You worked really hard for it. It’s not happening. Trump is simply too powerful and has endured too much. Voters aren’t gonna turn their backs on him at this point,” she said.
“And every day that Ron DeSantis stays on the campaign trail criticizing Trump is a day that hurts Ron DeSantis’ political future. He doesn’t gain anything from it. That’s for sure. And Trump, he’s not hurt by it at all. So it’s time to step aside and endorse Trump.”
“As for Nikki Haley, well, my advice is this, stop listening to your high priced campaign consultants who are telling you what they think you want to hear.”
“If she dropped out today, if she came to terms with the fact that the GOP is a populist party, if she started vigorously campaigning for Trump, she could, perhaps, rebuild some of the trust that she has lost among the GOP base.”
