Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), the feisty senator and the only Black woman presidential candidate, has dropped out of the 2020 presidential race amid rumors that her campaign lacked direction, had no cash and โno real plan to win,โ according to one campaign staffer who resigned and burned the bridge on her way out the door.
According to the Washington Post, Harris, 55, wrote a somber note to supporters, explaining that โmy campaign for president simply doesnโt have the financial resources we need to continue. It is with deep regret โ but also with deep gratitude โ that I am suspending my campaign today,โ she wrote. โBut I want to be clear with you: I am still very much in this fight.โ
Harris, 55, had qualified for the December debate but was in single digits in both national and early-state polls.
Harris, entered the race a promising candidate, her January announcement rally in Oakland drew more than 22,000 people. Trump, himself, praised Harris at the time for having the โbest opening so farโ and a โbetter crowd, better enthusiasmโ than the other Democratic candidates.
