Miami’s Republican Mayor Francis Suarez announced on Aug. 29 that he is dropping out of the 2024 presidential election, saying in a statement on social media that running the campaign was “one of the greatest honors” of his life.
“This country has given so much to my family and me,” Mr. Suarez said. “The prospect of giving back at the highest levels of public service is a motivator if not a calling. Throughout this process, I have met so many freedom-loving Americans who care deeply about our nation, her people, and its future. It was a privilege to come so close to appearing on stage with the other candidates at last week’s first debate.”
