Kamala Harris has ended her campaign for the 2020 presidential elections.
Harris formerly announced the news earlier today, citing the lack of financial backing – required to push her campaign further on such a gigantic scale, as one of the main reasons for her dropping our of the race so soon.
The California based politician was blooming as one of the most popular candidates from the Democratic party, so her withdraw from the upcoming prez race certainly came as a heartbreaking shock for those who were rooting for her since the beginning.
Harris sent an email to all her supporters and has just uploaded a video message explaining her decision to quit, but also expressing her gratitude for the support she received thus far.
“To you my supporters, it is with deep regret — but also with deep gratitude — that I am suspending my campaign today,” Harris continued. “But I want to be clear with you: I am still very much in this fight. And I will keep fighting every day for what this campaign has been about. Justice for The People. All the people.”
She further added:
“So here’s the truth today. I’ve taken stock and looked at this from every angle, and over the last few days have come to one of the hardest decisions of my life. My campaign for president simply doesn’t have the financial resources we need to continue. I’m not a billionaire. I can’t fund my own campaign. And as the campaign has gone on, it’s become harder and harder to raise the money we need to compete.”
