A GOP Divided Cannot Stand
By Jasmine Campos
On Sunday, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida ended his presidential bid and announced his endorsement of former President Donald Trump after landing just over 20% of the Iowa caucus vote. The race is down to two, and after primaries in New Hampshire left Nikki Haley in the dust, it’s looking like Trump will lead the party this November. Nevertheless, party infighting only continues with online attacks and congressional hold ups threatening the unity of the GOP.
The Republican party needs to reset its priorities: There will be plenty of time to fight over budgets, abortion rights, and foreign policy after securing the presidency. Until then, any internal squabbles can be used as free ammunition by the Democratic party. Republicans will need to get their house in order to secure a majority vote in November.
Moments after DeSantis declared his campaign over, many prominent figures in the Republican party took to Twitter to express their personal feelings on the matter. Many people reacted specifically to Charlie Kirk’s X post that DeSantis should have to give back any money he raised since he wasted people’s time. Things have only escalated following the New Hampshire primary where Haley came in second and claimed that there are “dozens of states yet to go” while people such as Ronna McDaniel, RNC Charwoman, are calling for Haley to bow out.
