Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan says Ron DeSantis was “going to be the guy” at the start of the presidential race as he suspends his campaign this week.

The Governor of Florida made the announcement in a video posted to social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

“I thought he was pitching himself as the Trump without the baggage,” Mr Morgan said.

“It turns out, none of these Republicans can stop the Trump train.

“He is running them all over.”
