Miami Mayor Francis Suarez announced Tuesday he is suspending his long-shot bid for the White House after failing to gain momentum in the crowded Republican field.
“While I have decided to suspend my campaign for President, my commitment to making this a better nation for every American remains,” Suarez wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Running for President of the United States has been one of the greatest honors of my life,” Suarez said in the post. “I look forward to keeping in touch with the other Republican presidential candidates and doing what I can to make sure our party puts forward a strong nominee who can inspire and unify the country, renew Americans’ trust in our institutions and in each other, and win.”
The Miami mayor was unable to garner meaningful support in the polls, and ultimately fell short of the Republican National Committee’s polling requirement to make it onto the first debate stage last week — a benchmark he previously said should be make-or-break for presidential campaigns.
“I agree that if you can’t meet the minimum thresholds, you shouldn’t be trying to take the time involved away from being productive,” Suarez told reporters at the Iowa State Fair earlier this month.
