Suarez, who was one of the last to announce a presidential bid, didn't qualify for the RNC debate and became the first candidate to drop out of the Republican race.
In an announcement on Tuesday, Suarez said"running for president has been the greatest honor of my life." He also vowed to continue to"amplify the voices of the Hispanic community - the fastest-growing voting group in our country."
Republican presidential candidate Miami Mayor Francis Suarez greets diners at the Machine Shed restaurant after having breakfast with his family and members of his campaign staff on July 29, 2023 in Urbandale, Iowa. But soon after his announcement, an RNC staffer familiar with the debate planning said Suarez had not been certified as a debate participant.
Suarez, who is Cuban American, made a pitch for his candidacy based on his track record as Miami mayor, a part-time position he's held since 2017, when he was working as a lawyer in a Miami firm. The city mayor's job is a more limited role than the Miami-Dade County mayor's. Suarez, a real estate lawyer, also served in the Miami City Commision from 2009-2017.
