As \u2062the \u2064GOP field gears up for\u2062 the \u2064third debate in Miami, \u2062Florida, next month, Elder has decided\u2063 to suspend his campaign. This comes as his second failed bid, following his\u2063 unsuccessful run\u2062 in the \u200b2021 recall efforts against\u2063 Gov. Gavin Newsom\u2064 (D-CA).<\/p>\n<h3>Elder Endorses Trump,\u200b Citing Conservative Record<\/h3>\n<p>In a statement released\u2064 on Thursday evening, Elder expressed his gratitude to his supporters and addressed various cultural issues, including the crises of fatherlessness. He then went on to endorse former President Donald\u200d Trump, emphasizing Trump&#8217;s conservative record as crucial in defeating President Joe Biden in the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now that I&#8217;m exiting the race, I am proud to announce my endorsement \u200dof Donald Trump for President of the \u2063United \u2062States,&#8221; Elder wrote. &#8220;His leadership \u200dhas been instrumental\u2064 in advancing conservative, America-first\u200c principles and policies \u2064that have benefited our\u200b great nation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Challenges Faced by Elder\u200d in \u2063the\u200d Primary Debates<\/h3>\n<p>Elder&#8217;s decision to drop out of the race comes\u200b after failing to meet the polling and donor requirements for the primary debates sponsored by the Republican National Committee.\u200b Despite regularly polling below 0%, Elder expressed\u2062 his frustration with being excluded from the first debate in late August and even \u2064threatened to file a complaint with the \u200dFederal Election Commission against the RNC and\u200c Fox\u2062 News Channel.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I said from the beginning that it \u200cappeared the rules of the \u200bgame were\u2062 rigged, \u2063little did we know just how rigged \u2063it is,&#8221; Elder stated. \u2064&#8221;For some \u2062reason, the \u200destablishment \u2062leaders at the RNC are afraid of having my voice on the debate stage. Just as \u2062I had to\u2064 fight\u2062 to successfully be on the ballot\u2062 in\u2063 the California recall election, I will fight to be\u200c on that debate\u2064 stage because I fully met all of \u200cthe requirements to\u200b do so.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Other\u2062 Republican Candidates Exiting the Race<\/h3>\n<p>Elder is not the only Republican candidate to end their campaign recently. Michigan businessman Perry Johnson, who endorsed Trump on\u2063 Monday, and former\u2062 Texas Rep. Will \u200bHurd, who endorsed former United\u200d Nations Ambassador \u200dNikki Haley, have also\u2062 dropped out. Additionally, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez withdrew from the race in late August after \u200cfailing to qualify for the first\u200d primary debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u200d What were the reasons behind Larry Elder&#8217;s decision to drop out of \u200cthe presidential race and endorse Donald Trump?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  De towards his\u2063 supporters and outlined the reasons behind his decision to drop out of the presidential race. He revealed \u200bthat his endorsement for former President Donald Trump \u200bwas based\u200b on their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-boosts-asian-outreach-ahead-of-midterms\/\" title=\"GOP Boosts Asian Outreach Ahead of Midterms\">shared conservative values<\/a> and Trump&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/you-cant-make-this-up-disgraced-former-fbi-agent-peter-strzoks-wife-melissa-hodgman-named-acting-director-of-the-division-of-enforcement-for-the-sec\/\" title=\"You Can\u2019t Make This Up: Disgraced Former FBI Agent Peter Strzok\u2019s Wife, Melissa Hodgman, Named Acting Director of the Division of Enforcement for the SEC\">proven track record<\/a> in advancing conservative\u200d policies.<\/p>\n<p>Elder highlighted Trump&#8217;s accomplishments during his presidency, \u200dsuch as the tax\u200d cuts, deregulation efforts, and \u200dthe appointment of conservative \u200cjudges. He \u2063believes that Trump has been a strong advocate for limited government, free markets,\u200c and individual liberty, which are all principles\u200b that\u200d Elder himself holds dear.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2062 conservative radio host also acknowledged the importance\u2062 of party unity in order to defeat the Democrats in the upcoming election. He emphasized the need for Republicans to come together \u2064and rally behind a candidate \u2063who can effectively challenge the policies of \u2063the current administration.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Elder expressed his admiration for Trump&#8217;s ability to connect with the American \u200bpeople and his commitment to putting America first. He\u2064 believes that Trump&#8217;s unapologetic\u200c stance \u2063on immigration, trade, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/larry-elder-drops-out-of-2024-race-and-endorses-trump\/\" title=\"Larry Elder withdraws from 2024 race, backs Trump.\">foreign policy resonates<\/a>\u200c with a large portion of\u200d the\u200c conservative base.<\/p>\n<p>Elder&#8217;s decision to back Trump is not surprising given \u200btheir history. The two have had a close \u200crelationship, with Elder making frequent appearances on Trump&#8217;s radio show and speaking at\u2064 Trump rallies. It is evident \u200dthat Elder has been influenced\u200d by Trump&#8217;s leadership and sees him as the strongest candidate to champion\u200d conservative values.<\/p>\n<p>However, Elder&#8217;s endorsement does not come without\u2064 controversy. Some within the Republican\u2062 Party \u200cargue \u2062that Trump&#8217;s divisive rhetoric and controversial actions have damaged the party&#8217;s reputation and hindered its ability to attract a broader base of voters. They believe that a fresh face and a more \u200cmoderate candidate would be better suited to represent conservative principles and unite the party.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the differing opinions within the GOP, Elder&#8217;s decision to drop out and endorse Trump will undoubtedly have an impact on \u2062the upcoming election. It may galvanize Trump&#8217;s supporters and solidify his position \u200cas the frontrunner within the Republican Party. Additionally, \u200cElder&#8217;s endorsement may <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-republicans-will-hold-first-impeachment-hearing-next-week-report\/\" title=\"House Republicans to hold first impeachment hearing next week, according to report.\">sway undecided voters<\/a> who admire his conservative views and consider him a trusted source of information.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, Larry Elder&#8217;s surprising announcement to drop out of the 2024 presidential race and endorse Donald Trump \u2064is reflective of their shared conservative values and Trump&#8217;s proven record as a conservative leader. While there may be differing opinions within the\u200d Republican Party about \u200bTrump&#8217;s suitability as a candidate, Elder&#8217;s endorsement is likely to have a significant impact on the race. As the GOP field prepares for the third debate in Miami, Florida, the\u2063 party must now come together and rally behind \u200dTrump as they seek to challenge the policies of the current \u200cadministration in the upcoming election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Long-shot GOP candidate Larry Elder withdrew from the 2024 race, endorsing ex-President Donald Trump for the primary.
