Former President Donald Trump, no stranger to attacking political rivals with derisive nicknames, thanked former Republican presidential candidate Perry Johnson for his endorsement in the 2024 primary race this week.
Johnson ended his long-shot campaign on Friday in a lengthy statement in which he cited"corruption among leaders at the RNC" as"appalling." The Michigan businessman often polled at 0%, didn't qualify for the first two GOP primary debates, and was not on track to meet the qualifications for next month's debate in Miami.
Johnson also referenced his support of Trump's first two presidential campaigns in 2016 and 2020 in his endorsement."During President Trump's first term, our nation saw historic peace agreements, no new wars, an economic revival, and forged a new path forward away from corrupt, establishment career politicians," Johnson said.
The endorsement comes as the entire GOP field faces increasing pressure to drop out and support another candidate who could dethrone Trump to become the Republican Party's next standard-bearer.The former president dominates Republican competitors in national and state polls, often by 30-60 percentage points. A Real Clear Politics poll average shows Trump at 58.8% support, a 45 percentage point advantage over his next closest rival, Gov. Ron DeSantis , at 13%.
Johnson is the third Republican to drop out of the race after Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and former Texas Rep. Will Hurd ended their campaigns.
