It's clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance.

They watch his presidency get stymied by relentless resistance, and they see Democrats using lawfare this day to attack him.

Why I've had disagreements with Donald Trump, such as on the coronavirus pandemic and his elevation of Anthony Fauci,

Trump is superior to the current incumbent

Joe Biden.

It's now officially a two-person race for the Republican nomination, with Ron DeSantis

ending his disappointing campaign, dropping out and then promptly endorsing Donald Trump.

We'll go through this major shakeup

and preview tomorrow's primary in New Hampshire. Also ahead, an update on the border deal that

includes critical aid for Ukraine. President Joe Biden is challenging Speaker Mike Johnson

and House Republicans to act on what he hopes will be a bipartisan package.

Plus, we'll go through the latest developments out of Israel, where there are growing calls for

a leadership change now four months into the war against Hamas.

Thank you. Good morning and welcome to way too early on this Monday, January 22nd.

I'm Jonathan Lemire. Thanks for starting your day and week with us.

He was once seen as potentially the most formidable opponent to Donald Trump in the Republican presidential primary. But this morning, Ron DeSantis's 2024 White

House aspirations are over. The Florida governor dropped his bid for president yesterday

and then immediately endorsed former President Trump.

DeSantis made the announcement in a video posted on social media just two days before the New Hampshire primary,

where polls showed him falling behind Trump and former South Carolina governor, Nikki Haley.

I can't ask our supporters to volunteer their time and donate their resources if we don't have a clear path to victory.

Accordingly, I am today suspending my campaign.
