Trump and conservatives applaud DeSantis for exiting 2024 race
Former President Donald Trump and Conservatives Praise Ron DeSantis’ Endorsement
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis received high praise from former President Donald Trump and conservatives after he suspended his campaign for president and endorsed Trump. Polling experts noted that the race took a permanent shift in early 2023 when Trump was indicted, leading to a surge of support for him among Republicans.
DeSantis, in his announcement, emphasized that Trump was superior to President Joe Biden and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, whom he criticized as representing “a repackaged form of warmed over corporatism.”
During a speech in New Hampshire, Trump congratulated DeSantis and expressed gratitude for his endorsement. He acknowledged the challenges of running a campaign and expressed his eagerness to work with DeSantis and others to defeat Biden.
Trump also stated that he would no longer mockingly refer to DeSantis as ”DeSanctimonious.”

DeSantis’ decision to withdraw from the race and endorse Trump received widespread praise from the political Right, including Trump supporters. Only a small fringe group on the far-right opposed DeSantis’ endorsement and continued to attack him.
Donald Trump Jr. expressed his happiness with DeSantis’ endorsement and called for the entire GOP to unite behind his father to defeat Nikki Haley and Joe Biden. Other conservatives, such as James Woods, Megyn Kelly, and Rep. Matt Gaetz, also praised DeSantis’ decision.
Notable posts on social media further celebrated DeSantis’ endorsement and expressed hope for his future political endeavors.
Governor DeSantis just joined Team Trump! Let’s end this and focus on the Democrats and the dumpster fire they’ve created in our great nation. #MAGA https://t.co/7v8gwaHrbn

Conservative actor James Woods described DeSantis’ speech as honest, straightforward, and to the point. He emphasized the need for Republicans to unite and remove the Biden administration from the White House.
Overall, DeSantis’ endorsement of Trump was seen as a significant move in the conservative political landscape, with many expressing optimism for the future.
How did DeSantis’ endorsement of Trump impact the race for the Republican nomination?
Ame has always been a mouthful, but he’s a great guy and a strong ally. Excited to have him on board!”

The endorsement by DeSantis came as a surprise to many. The governor is widely considered a rising star within the Republican Party and had been seen as a potential presidential candidate himself. However, he made it clear that he believed Trump was the best choice for the party and the country.
Many conservatives agreed with DeSantis’ assessment of Trump’s superiority over Biden and Haley. They praised Trump’s policies on immigration, tax cuts, and deregulation, which they believed had led to a strong economy and job growth before his indictment.
Conservatives also appreciated Trump’s willingness to take on the media and challenge the establishment. They saw him as a strong leader who was unafraid to speak his mind and fight for what he believed in.
In endorsing Trump, DeSantis showed that he was willing to put aside his own ambitions for the greater good of the party and the conservative movement. He recognized Trump’s ability to energize the base and bring about real change.
The endorsement from DeSantis is likely to give Trump a significant boost in the race for the Republican nomination. DeSantis is a popular figure among conservatives and his support could sway many undecided voters.
However, it remains to be seen how Trump’s indictment will impact his chances of winning the nomination and ultimately the presidency. While many Republicans continue to support him, there are also those within the party who have reservations about his ability to lead and the legal challenges he is facing.
Regardless, the endorsement from DeSantis is a major victory for Trump and his supporters. It reinforces the perception that Trump is the strongest candidate and has the support of key conservative leaders.
As the race for the Republican nomination heats up, it will be interesting to see how other candidates respond to DeSantis’ endorsement. Will they continue to campaign against Trump or will they follow DeSantis’ lead and throw their support behind the former president?
One thing is clear: DeSantis’ endorsement has given Trump a significant advantage in the race for the Republican nomination. Only time will tell if it will be enough to propel him to victory in the general election and allow conservatives to continue their agenda of limited government, lower taxes, and a strong military.
