(The Guardian) DeSantis's exit winnows Republican race down to just two candidates
It was only a few weeks ago that Republicans looking for an alternative to Donald Trump had a veritable cornucopia of big-league politicians to choose from. But, with the exception of Nikki Haley, all of them have dropped out, and yesterday, a big name announced his exit: Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor who once seemed like the best bet to unseat Trump from the helm of the Republican party.

His downfall was a mediocre second-place showing in Iowa last Monday, despite pouring everything his campaign had into winning the first state to vote in the GOP nomination process. There was clearly not backup plan for DeSantis, and yesterday, he announced his exit from the race with a video posted on X that included a fabricated Winston Churchill quote.

In it, the Florida governor takes one last jab at Trump, who has spent the past months pummeling him with insults, most notably the nickname “Ron DeSanctimonious”. DeSantis nonetheless endorsed Trump as he exited the race, and later on Sunday, the former president said the nickname was being retired. Here’s what DeSantis had to say:

Bye bye, Ron.

Well... not really goodbye since I still live in Florida... sadly. Hopefully I can say goodbye to him there soon too.

He seemed like he was mentally unstable for a politician lol.

Bye bye, Ron.

You could move to New York or California if you like authoritarianism.

Ron is better than Trump though. Not looking forward to two bad choices again for president but seeing we are a banana republic I know voting doesn't really make much difference regardless of who gets in.

OK.

Time out.

And remember: I have NEVER, since 1980, voted for a WINNING Presidential Candidate....
