In an Aug. 29 announcement on X (formerly Twitter), Suarez said that while running for U.S. president had been “one of the greatest honors of [his] life,” he made the decision to end his campaign and suggested he would support “a strong nominee” from the Republican Party.

According to many recent polls, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis trails behind former President Donald Trump for the Republican nomination for president.

Members of the Republican Party have a majority of seats in the House of Representatives, but the fate of all 435 will be decided in November 2024.
