Pence becomes the first major candidate to leave a race that has been dominated by his former boss-turned-rival, Donald Trump.
The withdrawal is a huge blow for a politician who spent years biding his time as Former President Donald Trump’s most loyal lieutenant.
“After much prayer and deliberation, I have decided to suspend my campaign for president effective today,” Pence said at the Republican Jewish Coalition gathering in Las Vegas. “We always knew this would be an uphill battle, but I have no regrets,” he said.The decision, more than two months before the Iowa caucuses that he had staked his campaign on, saves Pence from the embarrassment of failing to qualify for the third Republican primary debate, Nov. 8 in Miami.
