Former President Donald Trump expressed that he is “very honored” to have the endorsement of Gov. Ron DeSantis, following DeSantis’s suspension of his presidential campaign.
Trump stated that he looks forward to working with DeSantis to defeat President Biden, whom he described as the “worst and most corrupt president” in the country’s history.
DeSantis, in his announcement, emphasized his pledge to support the Republican nominee and endorsed Trump, indicating that he sees a majority of Republican primary voters favoring Trump.
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

“Very honored to have his endorsement,” Trump said.
“I look forward to working together with him to beat Joe Biden, who is the worst and most corrupt president in the history of our country,” he added.
“While I’ve had disagreements with Donald Trump, such as on the coronavirus pandemic and his elevation of Anthony Fauci, Trump is superior to the current incumbent Joe Biden,” DeSantis said.
“That is clear. I signed a pledge to support the Republican nominee, and I will honor that pledge,” he said.
“He has my endorsement because we can’t go back to the old Republican Guard of yesteryear — a repackaged form of warmed over corporatism that Nikki Haley represents,” DeSantis said.
The Trump campaign also released a statement, welcoming the endorsement and calling for Republicans to unite behind Trump to defeat Biden.
This endorsement represents a significant shift given the previous tensions between Trump and DeSantis.
“With only a few days left until President Donald J. Trump’s victory in New Hampshire, we are honored by the endorsement from Governor Ron DeSantis and so many other former presidential candidates. It is now time for all Republicans to rally behind President Trump to defeat Crooked Joe Biden and end his disastrous presidency,” the Trump campaign stated.
“Nikki Haley is the candidate of the globalists and Democrats who will do everything to stop the America First movement. From higher taxes, to decimating Social Security and Medicare, and to open borders, she represents the views of Democrats more than the views of Republicans. It’s time to choose wisely.”
There remain increasing calls for GOP unity to focus on defeating Biden by electing Trump.
“The race is already over,” Sen. Tim Scott said. “And politically speaking and figuratively speaking, they are dead people walking. It is time for this Republican Party to focus only on one person, and that is eliminating Joe Biden by electing Donald Trump.”
