hampshire s primary contest, where he was projected to finish while behind both former president, donald trump, and former u.n. he opted not to break the news on this stump before his supporters that worked for weeks to keep his campaign alive one way or another. instead, he ended his never back down campaign, that s what it s called on twitter, and through his support behind the man he has spent so many years working to emulate. if there was anything i could do to produce a favorable outcome, more campaign stops, more interviews, i would do it. but i can ask our supporters to volunteer their time and donate their resources, we don t have a clear path to victory. accordingly, i am today suspending my campaign. trump is superior to the current incumbent, joe biden, that is clear. i signed a pledge to support the republican nominee, i will honor that pledge. it s my endorsement because we can t go back to the old republican guard of yesteryear, are re-package form of corpor
