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, while one of his attendees interjected during his remarks “don’t do it!”

Ramaswamy’s exit comes not long after former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie ® announced he was dropping his White House bid. Late last year, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and former Vice President Pence also decided to leave the race.

It's about time this asshole realized what a nonentity he is.

By all accounts, Iowa was a landslide for Trump - got 50% of the vote. Take some comfort from that - it means 50% of Republican caucus goers wanted someone else. Trump can’t win the general with half of Republican voters. He needs virtually all Republicans and a significant percentage of independents.

If Iowa is any indication, things don’t look good for Trump.

In the whole Republican party they can't come up with someone who can run against Trump and get any numbers. It'll be Trump by default. Pretty pitiful.

50% of Republican voters wanted someone other than Trump as the Republican candidate. Many of them will still vote the party in November even if it means voting for Trump.

Turnout is crucial for Biden, just as it was in 2020.

You gotta wonder what Trump has on all these nitwits.
