BOBBY JINDAL OUT: ‘This is not my time’
“So I’ve come here to announce that I am suspending my campaign for president of the United States”.
Politico reported that he informed his top advisers of his decision on 16 November after reportedly “thinking about it for a few weeks”, Curt Anderson, a top Jindal strategist, said.
“You know, the differences between me and Bobby Jindal, we can talk about those, and obviously, Bobby wants to spend a lot of time tonight talking about that”, Christie said. He is the third Republican candidate to exit the race, following former Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, both of whom announced their withdrawal in September.
After Jindal’s term ends early next year, he says, he will return to where he got his start – the policy sector, working at America Next, a think tank he created.
Fox News reports that Jindal, who isn’t endorsing any contender right now, will support the nominated Republican candidate.
After five months of campaigning, Governor Bobby Jindal called it quits.
The leading Republican candidates in the 2016 presidential race remain Donald Trump and Ben Carson, at least according to brand new polls from the University of MA.
“We must show the way forward on growing our economy and winning the war against terror, and especially defeating radical Islam”.
In his first press conference since ending his presidential campaign, Jindal provided no details about the plan.
Jindal, once considered the GOP’s minority, golden boy, even delivering the Republican response to President Obama’s first State of the Union address in 2009, received a dismal 0.8 percent of support in a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll.
“Gov. Jindal is a committed public servant and strong conservative leader”, Santorum said.
“This is not my time”, he added.
Anderson said the campaign didn’t raise the money they wanted, but that was not the only reason Jindal withdrew.
He failed to qualify for the prime-time Republican debate on November 10, but during the forum for lower-polling candidates, he went on the attack against his rivals onstage. Governor Jindal has served the people of Louisiana with distinction, and I have no doubt that he will play an important role in helping to elect the next President of the Unites States, and beyond.
