Suspending Campaigns Is a Financial Decision and the Polarization of Humanity

Governor Ron DeSantis became the latest candidate to suspend his political campaign for the Republican nomination yesterday. Last week he narrowly took second place against Nikki Haley for runner-up to Trump. In New Hampshire he was polling with about 6% support and a path forward to a nomination was looking unlikely. It was not a surprise to see him suspend the campaign.

 

During his speech he stated he was supporting whomever the nominee for the Republican Party may be, and it was clear to him that the majority of primary voters were supporting Donald Trump. On social media a stir was created when posts were made about the word suspension over the term ended. The wording of candidates is important to pay attention to when they end their run. The use of words is due to Federal Election Committee policies and procedures. Stating a campaign has ended could render all debts due immediately and impact staff. Today I discuss why a suspension is the best for all during the campaign process.

 

In the second half of today’s show I address male loneliness and the mental well being of our society. Our politics and personal lives are polarized. It is important we begin to put everything back into proper perspective and reflect on how we can contribute to meaningful change.
