Trump Congratulates Ron DeSantis Dropping Out at New Hampshire MAGA Rally: ‘I Appreciate That!’

Trump: “Before we begin, I’d like to take time to congratulate Ron DeSantis and, of course, a really terrific person who I’ve gotten to know, his wife Casey, for having run a great campaign for president. He did. He ran a really good campaign, I will tell you. It’s not easy. They think it’s easy doing this stuff, right? It’s not easy. But, as you know, he left the campaign trail today at 3:00 P.M., and in so doing he was very gracious and he endorsed me, so I appreciate it.
(Cheering and Applause)
I appreciate that, and I also look forward to working with Ron and everybody else to defeat crooked Joe Biden. We will have to get him out. We have to get him out.
(Cheering and Applause)
He’s put our country at great peril. At great peril. So I just want to thank Ron and congratulate him on doing a very good job. It’s a tough situation. It’s a tough thing to do.”
