Summary
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended his Republican presidential campaign yesterday and endorsed former President Donald Trump. His decision leaves Mr. Trump and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley as the last major candidates remaining in the race ahead of tomorrow’s New Hampshire Republican primary.
His announcement is making headlines not just because it could change the race for the White House but because that race will change our lives. And yet, in a very real and foundational sense, the ultimate destiny of our nation is less in their hands than in yours and mine.

| 0:00.0 | Greetings. Today is Monday, January the 22nd, 2024. Welcome to the Daily Article podcast. I'm Chris Elthkins |

| 0:16.5 | Ron DeSantis suspended his Republican presidential campaign yesterday and endorsed former President |

| 0:35.1 | His announcement is making headlines not just because it could change |
| 0:38.1 | the race for the White House, but because that race will change our lives. Whatever your partisan |
| 0:43.7 | position, I'm certain you'll agree that America will be a profoundly different nation if President |
| 0:50.1 | Biden is reelected than if Mr. Trump or Mrs. Haley win the election. And yet, in a very real |
| 0:56.5 | and foundational sense, the ultimate destiny of our nation is less in their hands than in |
| 1:02.9 | yours and mine. Today is the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the tragic Supreme Court ruling |
| 1:09.5 | that permitted babies to be aborted legally in this |

| 1:18.5 | permit this gruesome practice, and chemical abortions, which are difficult to regulate, are now |
| 1:23.9 | used more than half of the time. Human laws reflect the preferences of fallen citizens as enacted by fallen legislators |
| 1:31.8 | and adjudicated by fallen judges. |
| 1:34.6 | Accordingly, they cannot produce a just and moral society. |
