Francis Suarez Ends Campaign for 2024 Republican Presidential Nomination
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez made the decision on Tuesday to suspend his campaign for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, focusing instead on his commitment to improving the nation for all Americans.
Following his failure to meet the requirements set by the Republican National Committee for the first presidential debate in Milwaukee, Suarez stated that candidates who did not qualify should drop out, including himself.
In a statement, Suarez expressed his intention to support the other Republican presidential candidates and contribute to the selection of a strong nominee who can unite the country and restore trust in institutions.
Launching his presidential campaign just over two months ago, Suarez emphasized the importance of Republican unity, drawing inspiration from Ronald Reagan’s call to rebuild the party’s “big tent” coalition.
Suarez, as the only major Hispanic candidate in the Republican primary, intends to amplify the voices of the Hispanic community, which is the fastest-growing voting group in the country. He believes that many Hispanics are seeking a home in America’s conservative movement due to feeling taken for granted by the Left.
Despite recognizing that he lacks the same level of name recognition as his competitors in the race, Suarez remained optimistic about his chances from the start. However, he failed to meet the polling criteria set by the RNC for the Milwaukee debate stage, preventing him from participating.
While Suarez did meet the 40,000 individual donor threshold to qualify for the debate, his campaign employed unconventional methods, such as accepting bitcoin donations and offering incentives like $20 gift cards and tickets to Lionel Messi’s debut at Inter Miami, to attract donors.
An Early Setback
Shortly after launching his campaign, Suarez faced criticism for his lack of awareness about the Uyghur Muslim ethnic minority in China during an interview on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show. Despite this stumble, Suarez later clarified that he is well aware of the Uyghur situation and China’s record on human rights abuses.
China denies the allegations of human rights abuses against the Uyghurs in Xinjiang.
