Republican Ryan Binkley has ended his longshot presidential campaign and endorsed Donald Trump, after failing to gain traction in any of the early nominating states. Even though the primary became a one-on-one race between Trump and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, Binkley, a Texas pastor and businessperson, remained in the race since last April, generating minimal support.
Unfortunately, it came at a high cost. Binkley loaned himself more than $10 million and only earned just over 2,000 votes across the four early-state nominating contests. In New Hampshire and South Carolina, he came in behind candidates who had already dropped out.
On his way out, Binkley endorsed Trump. Binkley wrote in a post announcing the end of his campaign, “Throughout my campaign, I have seen our party struggle to find a place for a new vision while weighing the corrupt allegations and indictments against President Trump. He will need everyone’s support, and he will have mine moving forward.”
He also said in his post that he looks “forward to considering other ways I can make an impact and promote my policy positions.”
