Conservative talk radio host Larry Elder on Thursday ended his campaign for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, throwing his support behind former President Donald Trump. “Now that I am exiting the race, I am proud to announce my endorsement of Donald Trump for President of the United States,” he continued. Elder failed to meet the donor and polling requirements set by the Republican National Committee to make the first presidential debate in August. Elder launched his bid for the Republican presidential nomination in April, pointing to securing the border and combating criticism that the United States is systemically racist as his reasons for running. Elder graduated from Brown University with a degree in political science and from the University of Michigan School of Law.
