Former Rival Endorses Trump as Campaign Suspended

A former president conveyed kind words towards Ron DeSantis after he halted his campaign for the presidency. During a rally in New Hampshire, Donald Trump acknowledged DeSantis and his wife for their efforts, praising the quality of his campaign. Trump also thanked DeSantis for endorsing him, an act that was appreciated. Additionally, the former president announced the retirement of his nickname "Ron DeSanctimonious," signaling a shift in their previously strained relationship fueled by Trump's resentment towards DeSantis for running against him, despite Trump's previous support during DeSantis' election in Florida. DeSantis' endorsement of Trump was well-received, despite the underlying tension, and is expected to bolster Trump's position in the upcoming New Hampshire primary. This follows DeSantis declaring Trump as the "superior" candidate, while trailing significantly in pre-announcement polls.
