Republican presidential candidate Larry Elder announced that he has suspended his campaign to support Donald Trump.
“Throughout my campaign, I have been steadfast in my belief that the biggest issues facing our nation are the crisis of fatherlessness, the dangerous lie that America is systemically racist, the need for an amendment to the Constitution to set federal spending to a fixed percentage of the GDP—otherwise government gets bigger whether Republicans or Democrats are in charge, and the need to remove the [George] Soros-backed [district attorneys] across the country who refuse to endorse the law,” Elder wrote in a statement, according to Fox News.
“The breakdown of the family structure and the absence of positive father figures in the lives of many children have far-reaching consequences for our society, including the crime wave we are currently seeing in America today.”
He added that he “hope[s] that my campaign has helped shine a light on these critical issues and sparked important conversations about how we can solve them.”
“Now that I am exiting the race, I am proud to announce my endorsement of Donald Trump for President of the United States. His leadership has been instrumental in advancing conservative, America-first principles and policies that have benefited our great nation,” Elder noted. “We must unite behind Donald Trump to beat Joe Biden and fight back against Biden’s unprecedented election interference and the left’s destruction of America.
“I want to thank my supporters, volunteers, and donors who invested their time, energy, and resources in this campaign. From Iowa to New Hampshire to Nevada and beyond, I am grateful for the opportunity to have met so many incredible Americans who share our values.”
On Twitter, Elder posted, “It’s time to unite behind @realDonaldTrump to beat Joe Biden!”
