Miami Republican Mayor Francis Suarez Drops Out of GOP Primary
Miami Republican Mayor Francis Suarez, who entered the GOP primary race as the “moderate” candidate and a vocal critic of both former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, has announced that he is suspending his campaign for the 2024 election.
