'Not surprising': Ex-Republican congressman says Trump had advantage before DeSantis drop-out

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has abandoned his bid to be a Republican presidential candidate.

He's thrown his support behind Donald Trump.

Former Republican Congressman Joe Walsh says DeSantis lost by 30 points to Trump in Iowa - so pulling out is the right move.

"It made no sense for him to stay in, he was going to get killed in New Hampshire. And as he said, he really had no pathway. Get out, endorse Trump, and fight another day."

Nikki Haley is Trump's only remaining contender.
