Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s campaign has refuted an op-ed asserting that the Republican presidential candidate intends to drop out from the race should he lose the Iowa caucuses to former President Donald Trump.

The op-ed, published by The Hill on Jan. 6, claims that “a major donor and a high-level political operative” have asserted Mr. DeSantis would announce his exit from the race either on the night of the caucuses on Jan. 15 or the following day if President Trump wins in Iowa.
