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.
