Kamala Harris drops out of 2020 presidential race

Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Kamala Harris, who plunged in the polls amid internal strife in her campaign, dropped out of the 2020 presidential election Tuesday after canceling a major New York City fundraiser. Harris, a California Democrat, informed staffers of her decision in a morning phone call before tweeting out the news. “To my supporters, it is with deep regret — but also with deep gratitude — that I am suspending my campaign today,” Harris wrote on her Twitter page. “But I want to be clear with you: I will keep fighting every day for what this campaign has been about. Justice for the People. All the people.”
