Why did Ron DeSantis quit US presidential race? – BBC News

Published

on



Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Donald Trump.

He quit ahead of the Republican primary election in New Hampshire, where he was polling in the single digits.

DeSantis was once considered a strong contender for the party’s nomination – but on Sunday he said he did not “have a clear path to victory”.

Nikki Haley is Trump’s last remaining challenger.

    Did anybody notice the anchor. Wordplay. She said “Donald Trump reaction” instead of Donald Trump response. That’s programming 101.

    DeSantis was the only candidate to have consistently delivered. Trump was effective (check the stats on the US economy in 2019 if you're ignorant of it) but failed to build the wall and made some horrible appointments. Elevating Fauci and giving him a medal was risible. If DeSantis plays his cards right he'll be POTUS in 2028 and whatver happens he's probably the best governor in the country. Haley is horrible. A classic RINO who is also a war monger in the back pocket of weapons manufacturers. This 'journalist' is wrong – hey, it's the BBC – Haley will get some DeSantis votes and they won't all go to Trump. She also failed to mention (of course she did) that New Hampshire results come with a hefty pinch of salt. Democrats and Independents can vote.

    BBC Always have and always will hate TRUMP! Because the BBC is following the WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM AGENDA! Same as the 2 puppet leaders of Labour and Torie. But Trump isnt signed up to the WEF.

    I fear what will happen when Trump is re-elected, which will probably happen, his project 25 is basically a soft coup
    Openly touting that he's going to fire hundreds or thousands in government who didn't support him and fill those jobs with his cronies, funny how quickly democracy is cast aside

    Because no one can out Trump Trump as he continues to flush the Republican Party down the toilet of extremist nationalism.
    DeSantis is probably looking at 2028 when he won't be going up against an incumbent advantage and hopefully the GOP will have gotten over the Trumpism hangover and can rebuild a centrist party that will be competitive with democrats.

    Impartial BBC propaganda machine must be working overtime. Don't they realise it is American voters who decide the outcome of American elections and not the Oxbridge educated elite that control the UK.

    What the party can't do is go forward with scummy self-serving pond scum like DeSantis and Trump. Make the GOP great again, root out Trumpism.

Scott Galloway on the fight for US men | Americast

Published

on



There was a gender divide in the US in 2024 and one of the criticisms of the failed Democrat presidential campaign was that they appealed to women and largely ignored men.

So, with the midterms coming up, and the 2028 battle lines being drawn, how much is are political conversations going to centre around who can attract the male vote?

Justin’s been talking to a man who’s been thinking about that very question.

Russian drone hits Romanian apartment block | BBC News

Published

on



A Russian drone hit an apartment block in Romania causing a fire and wounding two people, officials say.

The incident happened on Friday in the town of Galati – close to Romania’s eastern border with Ukraine and Moldova.

Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte said “Russia’s reckless behaviour is a danger to us all”, while European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Russia’s “war of aggression had crossed yet another line”.

Russian drones have strayed across Romania’s border a number of times during the four-year war with Ukraine, but it is the first time citizens from the Nato country have been hurt. Russia has yet to comment on the incident.

Published

An inquest has opened into the deaths of three sisters whose bodies were recovered from the sea off the coast of Brighton. The case has led to rampant speculation online, particularly after it emerged that a widely shared image provided by family members appeared to be AI-generated.

From unfounded conspiracies about serial killers, to a broader debate over the handling of cases involving black people, it has captivated TikTok sleuths, some of whom are even turning on each other.

On this episode of Top Comment, Marianna and Matt discuss why the case is receiving so much attention, and how race has played a leading role in the discourse.
