Scott Walker May Drop Out of GOP 2016 Presidential Race
“I don’t think he made any really big mistakes, but people lost enthusiasm”.
Support for Walker has struggled to keep momentum in a campaign that focused on his fight against organized labor, as the main issue in the campaign has shifted to immigration.
Walker’s Super PAC raised more than $20 million during the second quarter of fundraising, the fourth highest Republican fundraiser to that point. However, the candidate is scheduled to suspend his campaign Monday night in an address from Madison, Wisconsin.
Carly Fiorina jumped to second place with 15 percent.
Which Republican candidate will be next to drop out?
The Wisconsin governor had canceled recent events in Michigan and California in an effort to focus on campaign events in early primary states. Along with Florida Sen.
It was a play on a statement the federation had released the day of Walker’s presidential announcement just more than two months ago. “You know Ronald Reagan was behind in the polls in 1980…”
“Obviously, I’m disappointed, first and foremost”, Westcott said.
At the time, Walker promised that his record in the state – stripping away union power, lowering taxes, passing pro-life legislation and more – showed that he knew how to “fight and win for America”. His job approval ratings fell dramatically during his presidential run, hitting their lowest mark ever of 39 percent in an August poll conducted by Marquette University. “Obviously they know where they are”, said another Republican close to Walker’s team.
But governors have been losing out this cycle to Trump, who has dominated both debates, Rollins said.
