In a move that will devastating to tens, maybe even dozens, of Republican presidential primary voters, former Michigan auto executive Perry Johnson has suspended his 2024 presidential campaign, announcing in a statement that he’s “said it before and I’ll say it again, the people should decide the next president of the United States, not the head of the RNC and her cronies. With no opportunity to share my vision on the debate stage, I have decided at this time, suspending my campaign is the right thing to do,” and blah blah blah whatever who freaking cares.
Having spent literally more than $20 million of his own money between his 2022 Michigan gubernatorial campaign and this presidential “campaign” to appear on the primary ballot in neither of them – the first one being because he hired a scam outfit to run the access petition drive – Johnson’s departure now further widens the “lane” for other hopefuls on the same tier such as Larry Elder, Asa Hutchinson, Ryan Binkley, and Will Hurd… Oh wait, fuck. Hurd dropped out 11 days ago.
