Larry Elder Drops Out of GOP Race, Backs Trump

Conservative talk radio host Larry Elder has announced the end of his 2024 Republican campaign for president and has endorsed former president Donald Trump. Elder, who previously sought to replace California Gov. Gavin Newsom in a failed recall effort, stated that he made the decision after careful consideration and consultation with his team. He believes that Trump's leadership has been instrumental in advancing conservative America-first principles and policies. Elder hopes that his campaign has shed light on important issues such as fatherlessness, fighting crime, and opposition to the idea of the U.S. being a racist country. Elder is the fourth major candidate to suspend or end their 2024 GOP bid, following Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, former Texas congressman Will Hurd, and businessman Perry Johnson.
