“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts,” DeSantis wrote in the post’s caption.
In the video, he explained his feelings about the importance of his campaign and his role as Florida’s governor.
DeSantis later noted that he would endorse former President Donald Trump for the presidency in 2024 after he decided to step back.
“We can, in fact, succeed again as a nation — nobody worked harder, and we left it all out on the field,” the Florida governor said of his campaign run.
He added that he couldn’t ask his supporters for more if there wasn’t a “clear path to victory.”
“It’s clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance,” DeSantis continued.
“They watched his presidency get stymied by relentless resistance, and they see Democrats using lawfare this day to attack him.”
“Trump is superior to the current incumbent, Joe Biden,” DeSantis added.
He also slammed GOP candidate Nikki Haley, claiming she represents the “old Republican guard.”
“I signed a pledge to support the Republican nominee, and I will honor that pledge — he has my endorsement because we can not go back to the old Republican guard of yesteryear — a repackaged form of warmed-over corporatism that Nikki Haley represents,” DeSantis said.
“The days of putting Americans last, of cow-towing to large corporations, of caving to woke ideology, are over.”
Despite DeSantis’ criticisms on Sunday, Haley had warm words for her competitor while speaking to supporters about the update, as The U.S. Sun reported.
“Now, we just heard that Ron DeSantis has dropped out of the race,” Haley noted over cheers.
“I would like to say to Ron that he ran a great race, he’s been a good governor, and we wish him well.”
“Having said that — it’s now one fella and one lady left.”
Trump has yet to issue a statement on DeSantis’ decision to back out of the race and endorse him for president.
