His departure from the race allows Mr DeSantis to avoid an embarrassing potential third-place finish in New Hampshire to Ms Haley, who has focused far more of her resources in the state.
But a person familiar with Mr DeSantis’ election night plans in New Hampshire was completely caught off guard by the news of his exit.
Seems like he under-invested in the state and expected to lose. I wouldn’t be surprised if trump promised him a cabinet position to drop out early.

I’m surprised it’s both this early and this late. The fact that he came in second in Iowa and then dropped out before New Hampshire is baffling.
