Ms Haley will go head-to-head with Mr Trump in New Hampshire on Tuesday, the second in a series of state-by-state contests to pick a Republican nominee for the November general election.Later, addressing an audience at a rally, Mr Trump described his former opponent as a "really terrific person", adding: "He ran a really good campaign, it's not easy."
Mr DeSantis also took a swipe at Ms Haley, calling her a member of "the old Republican guard of yesteryear - a repackaged form of warmed-over corporatism".
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.

Chris Ager, the state committee chair of New Hampshire's Republican Party, told the BBC that "the race has been moving toward a one-vs-one between Trump and Haley for a while".
