00:00 Now, over the past many months, Casey and I have traveled across the country to deliver
00:04 a message of hope that decline is a choice and that we can, in fact, succeed again as
00:09 a nation.
00:11 Nobody worked harder, and we left it all out on the field.
00:14 Now, following our second place finish in Iowa, we've prayed and deliberated on the
00:18 way forward.
00:19 If there was anything I could do to produce a favorable outcome, more campaign stops,
00:24 more interviews, I would do it.
00:26 But I can't ask our supporters to volunteer their time and donate their resources if we
00:31 don't have a clear path to victory.
00:33 Accordingly, I am today suspending my campaign.
00:37 I'm proud to have delivered on 100% of my promises, and I will not stop now.
00:43 It's clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another
00:46 chance.
00:47 They watch his presidency get stymied by relentless resistance, and they see Democrats using lawfare
00:53 to this day to attack him.
00:54 While I've had disagreements with Donald Trump, such as on the coronavirus pandemic
00:59 and his elevation of Anthony Fauci, Trump is superior to the current incumbent, Joe
01:04 Biden.
01:05 That is clear.
01:06 I signed a pledge to support the Republican nominee, and I will honor that pledge.
01:11 He has my endorsement because we can't go back to the old Republican guard of yesteryear,
01:16 a repackage formed of warmed-over corporatism that Nikki Haley represents.
