DES MOINES, United States, Jan 16, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Republican entrepreneur
Vivek Ramaswamy, a political newcomer who sought to shake up the 2024
presidential race by challenging more established candidates, announced
Monday that he was pulling out and endorsing Donald Trump.

"We are going to suspend this presidential campaign," Ramaswamy told
supporters after he was projected to finish a distant fourth in the Iowa
caucuses.

"I called Donald Trump to tell him I congratulate him on his victory, and now
going forward he will have my full endorsement for the president."
