President Donald Trump gave a speech in Rochester, New Hampshire, on Sunday night, publicly commenting on Gov. Ron DeSantis’s decision to suspend his 2024 GOP presidential campaign.
“I’d like to take time to congratulate Ron DeSantis and of course, a really terrific person…I’ve gotten to know his wife, Casey,” Trump told a packed venue of prospective New Hampshire primary voters.
He said that DeSantis had run a “really good campaign” and noted that he appreciated DeSantis’s endorsement, which was issued on Sunday afternoon.
“As you know, he left the campaign trail today at 3:00 p.m. and in doing so he was very gracious and he endorsed me,” Trump said.
He added, “I also look forward to looking forward to working with Ron…to defeat Crooked Joe Biden…!”
Trump noted that Biden has put the nation “at great peril” and urged huge voter turnout on Tuesday ahead of the New Hampshire primary election.
