WASHINGTON - Montana Gov. Steve Bullock has suspended his 2020 presidential campaign, multiple news outlets are reporting.
In a statement released Monday morning, the red state Democrat acknowledged that he "won't be able to break through to the top tier of this still-crowded field," The Washington Post reported.
Bullock's campaign spokeswoman added that he does not plan to run for U.S. Senate, according to the newspaper.
In May, Bullock, 53, announced his candidacy in a campaign video posted to his social media accounts.
"I believe in an America where every child has a fair shot to do better than their parents," Bullock said in the announcement. "But we all know that kind of opportunity no longer exists for most people. For far too many, it never has."
He continued: "We need to defeat Donald Trump in 2020 and defeat the corrupt system that lets campaign money drown out the people's voice, so we can finally make good on the promise of a fair shot for everyone."
Bullock, a father of three, was elected governor in 2012 and is currently in his second term.
Bullock's campaign website described him as "a progressive who gets stuff done."

This is hilarious. For every retard who drops out two jump in.
These candidates only make the news when they launch and end their campaigns.
He was in?
Montana has a Socialist Governor? Who would have thunk!!
And, just like that, poof, another one’s gone!
I will be holding a global press conference this afternoon promptly at 2PM to announce the withdrawal of my esteemed candidacy and the closing of my campaign offices. This is the final anouncement of this vital event.
People in MT find some of the worst elected officials: they must seek them out.
He vetoed Constitutional Carry -twice- !
Montana is old, old Democrat, from the Grange tradition, when farmers saw Democrats as the savior of the independent farmer.
Now there are enough Progressives in the Montana academia, and California immigrants to elect Governor Bullock.
Never knew the guy was even in the race to begin with.
MT has far too many pot-heads voting in their elections to be surprised when Cheech + Chong get elected Governor.
Wiki: In Ireland, “bollocks”, “ballocks” or “bollox” can be used as a singular noun to mean a despicable or notorious person...
Who?
Well,I have to admit my ignorance. Somehow I missed the fact he was running
A while back it was noted that there are about 2 to 3 hundred people registered as running for POTUS. About 20 were known enough to get on the dim debate stage. A few of those 20 have dropped out now. More will follow. Most from our FR perspective are at the WHO? level.
Yep.
Oh, just in case you haven’t heard, HombreSecreto is suspending his campaign for the 2016 GOP nomination.
According to Hombre, “I view myself as a positive person, but there is a time when reality must be recognized. I won’t be the 2016 GOP nominee but I am proud of the lasting impression I made on the Republican field.”
