Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has suspended his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination after a heavy loss in the Iowa Caucus, where he finished second to Donald Trump. Despite his withdrawal and subsequent endorsement of Trump, which he described as a fulfillment of a pledge, DeSantis has taken several swipes at the former president. In his first post-candidacy interview, he highlighted an 'enthusiasm problem' within the GOP and warned about Trump's influence on the party's chances in the upcoming election. The political dynamics have shifted, leaving Trump and Nikki Haley as the remaining candidates for the Republican nomination.
