He's a familiar face in the media, and was the leading Republican vote-getter in the recent California recall election. Now Larry Elder is setting his sights on the White House. He tells 'The Final 5's' Jim Lokay why he's in the race, and why he says he's been shunned from the GOP debate stage so far.
House Democrat launches primary challenge against Biden“As I look at the path forward, and after careful consideration and consultation with my campaign team, I have made the difficult decision to suspend my campaign,” Elder, 71, said in a lengthy statement on social media.
“Now that I am exiting the race, I am proud to announce my endorsement of Donald Trump for president of the United States,” he added, calling for Republicans to unite behind the GOP front-runner in order to defeat President Biden next year. The longtime radio host announced his candidacy in April and had built his platform around shedding light on the crisis of fatherlessness and his opposition to the notion that America is systemically racist.Elder failed to qualify for either debate hosted by the Republican National Committee due to insufficient polling numbers and donors.
He’s the fourth candidate to drop out of the Republican race, following Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, former Rep. Will Hurd of Texas and businessman Perry Johnson.
