Miami Mayor Francis Suarez spent months struggling to get the campaign donations, attention and support he needed to keep his long-shot quest for the Republican presidential nomination alive.
That ended Tuesday, when Suarez announced he would be suspending his campaign, making him the first Republican to drop out of a nomination contest that is both crowded and heavily favoring former President Donald Trump.
“While I have decided to suspend my campaign for President, my commitment to making this a better nation for every American remains," Suarez said in a statement.
“I look forward to keeping in touch with the other Republican presidential candidates and doing what I can to make sure our party puts forward a strong nominee who can inspire and unify the country, renew Americans’ trust in our institutions and in each other, and win.”
Suarez did not offer his endorsement to any of the remaining candidates.
Suarez failed to make the debate stage in Milwaukee, despite having reached, he claimed, the threshold for 40,000 individual donors. In his quest to get more donations, Suarez offered people a chance to get front-row seats to see legendary Argentine soccer player Lionel Messi in his first game playing for Inter Miami.
But with dismal polling numbers – the last three major surveys had Suarez with zero support of GOP primary voters – Suarez did not qualify for the debate stage. While campaigning in New Hampshire weeks ago, Suarez said that candidates who did not meet the thresholds for the Milwaukee debate should drop out.
As the only Hispanic in the GOP presidential race, Suarez – the 45-year-old son of Miami's first Cuban-born mayor – at first appeared to be someone who could build on the party's inroads among Latino voters. Exit polls show that Hispanics – especially in Republican Florida – are moving more toward the GOP, although Democrats still hold a commanding lead among the voter group nationally and in battleground states like Arizona and Colorado.
Suarez was also an early proponent of vaccinations for COVID-19. He has clashed with his state's GOP governor, Ron DeSantis, criticizing his foe for the GOP presidential nomination for the expansion of the "don’t say gay" law in schools and the handling of the slavery curriculum in classrooms.
Nor has Suarez been a reliable enemy of President Joe Biden. At an event at the White House in early 2021, Suarez said he spoke with the president about the pandemic and climate change, adding that he had more communication with the Democratic president than with Trump, when he was president.
"I've spoken to the president and vice president more times in the short period that they have been in office than I had spoken to the prior administration entirely," Suarez said at the time. "To me, that's an intentional desire on their part to really plug in with the mayors."
In the months he has been campaigning, however, Suarez – who did not support Trump in 2016 or 2020 – has shied away from criticizing the GOP's front-runner. In June, Suarez hinted he would pardon Trump, saying the tool is useful for presidents to “heal the country.”
B | 两场比赛,两粒进球,两场平局——这就是“拉科”目前的战绩。伊达尔戈执教的球队在揭幕战中于里亚索球场与埃尔切战成1-1平,随后在上周一做客玫瑰园球场挑战马拉加时,再次打出了相同的比分。奥巴梅扬在这两场比赛中都率先打破僵局,确立了自己作为球队关键进攻核心的地位;拉科鲁尼亚在重返顶级联赛后的前两轮比赛中,从可能的6个积分中拿到了2分。尽管奥巴梅扬表现出色,但这并不能掩盖拉科鲁尼亚仍需完善阵容的事实。于是,阿达玛·特劳雷进入了视野:这笔交易已非常接近达成。
C | 这位30岁的西班牙边锋在结束了西汉姆联的效力期后,目前是一名自由球员。经过数周的谈判,拉科鲁尼亚与球员本人已缩小分歧,使转会成为可能——此前,这笔交易曾因球员的薪资要求而一度陷入复杂局面。俱乐部旨在加强右路进攻,因为该位置目前急需更多的人员储备。
D | 目前交易已进入最后阶段。知名记者罗马诺周二报道称,阿达玛·特劳雷将于周三前往西班牙,敲定细节并正式签约成为拉科鲁尼亚的一员。
E | 简而言之,协议进展顺利,不过在正式文件签署之前,这还不能被视为已官宣。如果转会最终成行,阿达玛·特劳雷将为拉科鲁尼亚带来特定的技术特点:速度以及突破防守球员的能力。
F | 这位西班牙国脚以其强悍的身体素质、一对一突破对手的能力以及下底传中的特长而闻名。奥巴梅扬与阿达玛·特劳雷的重聚这笔交易还有一个引人注目的亮点,那就是与奥巴梅扬的关联。两人此前曾在2021-22赛季下半程于巴塞罗那做过队友。阿达玛·特劳雷于1月从狼队租借加盟,奥巴梅扬也在同一转会窗口从阿森纳转投而来;两人的到来在重塑哈维的进攻体系方面发挥了重要作用。当时那支巴萨队受益于一种极具威力的进攻组合:阿达玛·特劳雷擅长突破防守,而奥巴梅扬则长于冲击禁区。
G | 如今,时隔四年,足球或许将再次把他们联系在一起。奥巴梅扬已开始为拉科鲁尼亚贡献进球,而阿达玛·特劳雷也即将登陆里亚索球场。拉科鲁尼亚正寻求增强火力以备战重返顶级联赛,而这两位曾在巴萨共事过的旧将,或许将再次成为球队的强力援手。
