Governor Ron DeSantis, once seen as a strong contender for the Republican nomination, faced a decline in his campaign, ultimately withdrawing and endorsing Donald Trump.
Several factors contributed to this, including the aftermath of the 2022 GOP midterm elections, his failed campaign strategy, the challenge of appealing to both pro- and anti-Trump voters, and the reliance on a problematic super PAC.
DeSantis struggled to connect emotionally with the Republican base, underestimated Trump’s influence, and faced internal conflicts within his campaign.
Ultimately, he fell behind Trump in national polls and chose to suspend his campaign, looking ahead to 2028.
Despite early promise, his campaign faltered due to various missteps and miscalculations, ultimately leading to a disappointing outcome in Iowa.
A DeSantis advisor said, “Every single thing that could have not gone as we had hoped or planned for went horribly wrong.”
DeSantis suffered significantly from a slow start and glitch-filled launch on Elon Musk’s X platform.

DeSantis said, “I would say if I could have one thing change, I wish Trump hadn’t been indicted on any of this stuff.”
DeSantis’ team also faced internal conflicts, financial setbacks, and criticism from Republican circles.
His focus on conservative priorities and clashes with Trump further complicated his bid, contributing to a significant decline in support and fundraising.
