Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has suspended his presidential campaign two months after its initial launch.

Suarez, 45, formally jumped into the Republican primary race in mid-June and failed to gain steam throughout his short-lived run, which he teased weeks before. He did not make it to the Milwaukee debate stage on August 23 after failing to meet the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) criteria, despite expressing confidence in doing so less than a week away from the debate.

...

“I’ve sort of always agreed with that. If you can’t meet the minimum thresholds, you shouldn’t be trying to take time and volume away from people that do,” Suarez told reporters during a stop at the Iowa State Fair.

“I don’t think candidates should just sort of linger around if they don’t have a credible path,” he added.

He appeared to stick to that opinion, formally suspending his campaign Tuesday in a lengthy statement posted to social media in which he made it clear that running for president has been “one of the greatest honors of my life”

I didn’t know him by name. Saw him on the stage, but I
didn’t watch the debate.

Smart guy getting out. Wish that corn-flake from Jersey
would pull his pants up, gain some dignity, and drop out.

He’ll probably be the last one to do so, since it’s all
about destroying Trump in the first place.

As if...

Hey, his campaign has been the topic of conversation on every city street, at every supermarket line and in every shopping center for months now. I’m sick of the nonstop panel discussions and space taken up in internet news discussions about him. Suarez, Suarez, Suarez.
Now we can move on.

Oh, wait: /S

It’s the Harris path to the Vice Presidency.

The first hub cap to fall off the Clown Car. When Christie falls off it will be akin to busting a shock absorber at 80MPH!

It will be something like Vacation II, where grandma’s corpse
falls of the top of that station wagon five miles back before
anyone notices.

Don’t fret, DeSantis will be the last candidate standing. Besides, we have over 139 days until the first caucuses and primaries.

Suarez was a trial balloon put up by the GOP Establishment to see if running a Hispanic RINO would be the way for them to win hearts and minds. It failed miserably.

>>“I don’t think candidates should just sort of linger around if they don’t have a credible path,” he [Suarez]added.

And he couldn’t figure out that that would be the outcome, BEFORE entering the race?
