Larry Elder, a prominent right-wing radio host, has announced the suspension of his 2024 presidential campaign. In a surprising move, Elder is endorsing former President Donald Trump for the Republican nomination. Elder’s decision comes as he faced challenges in gaining adequate support to qualify for the Republican Party’s candidate debates.
Campaign Suspension
After entering the race in April, Larry Elder struggled to garner the necessary backing required to participate in the Republican Party’s candidate debates. On October 27, he officially suspended his campaign, marking a significant development in the 2024 presidential race.
Elder’s Statement
In a statement shared online, Elder revealed his reasons for suspending the campaign. The decision, he explained, came after thorough consideration and discussions with his campaign team. Elder acknowledged the difficulty of the choice but expressed his commitment to the path forward.
Uniting Behind Trump
Larry Elder urged his supporters to rally behind former President Donald Trump, who currently stands as the Republican front-runner. The goal is to unify Republican forces and challenge Democratic President Joe Biden in the November 2024 election.
