Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who was once seen as the biggest threat to Trump's 2024 White House bid, ends his presidential campaign

• Ron DeSantis is ending his 2024 presidential campaign.
• DeSantis entered the race with lofty expectations, with many conservatives seeing him as a next-generation GOP figure.
• But Trump has had a disciplined campaign, and DeSantis lost key support in many early-voting states.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday suspended his presidential campaign, a stunning fall for the conservative leader who had long been seen as the biggest threat to former President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign.

"I can't ask our supporters to volunteer their time and donate their resources if we don't have a clear path to victory," DeSantis said in a message to supporters. "It's clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance."
