Former New York Gov. George Pataki (R) is calling his supporters in New Hampshire to tell him he intends to drop out of the 2016 presidential race, The Boston Globe's James Pindell reported via Twitter.
Since entering the race, Pataki, who is 70, has remained in the lower tier of the polls.
The moderate Republican was New York governor for three terms after being elected in 1994. Before embarking on his 2016 campaign, there was speculation he would run in previous presidential cycles. His reported decision to drop out comes weeks before Feb. 1's Iowa caucus and Feb. 9's New Hampshire primary. Pataki had missed the filing deadlines in primary states later in the cycle.
Pataki struggled to gain traction in an election season that has favored anti-establishment policies over more seasoned politicians. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Gov. Bobby Jindal and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) previously dropped out of the race.

Thanks for playing, George. Here is a box of Kit-Kats.
Where is that Cowboy with the handlebar moustache who say’s “Bye!”
“I ran for the highest American Office, and all I got was this (expired!) coupon for a Kit Kat Bar and a Deluxe Model Slinky, which is a wonderful, wonderful toy for every girl & boy!
He was in the race who cared
Officially the only non pro-life candidate.

Who?
Didn’t realize he was running.
What race...dogcatcher???
I predict that his supporters will split three ways. One supporter each to Christie, Fiorina, and Bush.
Like we need more of those. I try to ignore Trump being from there as a business necessity.
??? He was running???
He had supporters? Who knew??..
Yes, both of them.
Like it or not, Donald Trump is about as NY as you get.
