Ramaswamy suspends 2024 bid, endorses Trump | 15 Jan 2024 | Vivek Ramaswamy on Monday night announced he's dropping out of the 2024 GOP presidential race following a disappointing showing in the Iowa caucuses and endorsing former President, the latest announcement to winnow down the primary field as Trump dominates. "As of this moment, we are going to suspend this presidential campaign," Ramaswamy told supporters in Iowa on Monday night. "As I’ve said since the beginning, there are two America First candidates in this race. And earlier tonight I called Donald Trump to tell him that I - congratulate him on his victory, and now going forward, you will have my full endorsement for the presidency," Ramaswamy said later... Ramaswamy, the first GOP millennial to seek the Republican presidential nomination, was initially seen as a long-shot candidate with little name recognition when he launched in February 2023.
