Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) announced Monday that he is ending his 2020 presidential campaign amid dismal polling numbers and fundraising struggles.
Its with a full heart that I share this news Ive made the decision to suspend my campaign for president, Booker wrote to supporters in an email. It was a difficult decision to make, but I got in this race to win, and Ive always said I wouldnt continue if there was no longer a path to victory. Our campaign has reached the point where we need more money to scale up and continue building a campaign that can win money we dont have, and money that is harder to raise because I wont be on the next debate stage and because the urgent business of impeachment will rightly be keeping me in Washington, the senator added. So Ive chosen to suspend my campaign now, take care of my wonderful staff, and give you time to consider the other strong choices in the field.
His departure now leaves a field that was once the most diverse in history with just one remaining African American candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick.
Since launching his campaign last February, Booker struggled to raise the type of money required to support a White House bid. He was at the back of the pack in most surveys and failed to meet the polling requirements needed to participate in Tuesdays debate. Booker also missed last months debate and exits the race polling in low single digits in the early primary states and nationwide.

Deval Patrick is still running? I hardly noticed.
Musta got busy in Farta.
Race has nothing to do with it!
In the interest of affirmative action, which Im sure all the white democrat candidates support, one of them should drop out and let Booker take their place.
Most insignificant “news” of 2019: “X joins Dem race for President.”
Second most insignificant “news” of 2019: “X drops out.”
... Or is it the other way around?
I thought he had dropped out weeks ago.
Doesn’t matter.
He was Sparse, at best.
*** A M F ***
So now Piss Pot Pete is the only faggot running?
Only one gay left!
He was running for President..of the U.S.?
Devolve Patrick.....Ha ha ha ...ha ha ha.
I suppose he'll take a few days to unwind after his whirlwind campaign. [sic] Maybe he'll finally visit his supposed residence in Newark where he's never lived.
He was never really IN the race
There’s one person upset about this.
I’m particularly glad this guy is not going to be president.
Spartacus is Departacus.
Even Bookers Moma doesn’t care.
