Today, I’m suspending my campaign for President. Thank you for your belief, your trust, and your support.
He also issued a statement to Medium:
Today, I announced that I’m suspending my campaign for President. While there were many obstacles we could not have anticipated when entering into this race, it has become clear that in this moment, I won’t be able to break through to the top tier of this still-crowded field of candidates.
