Harris just dropped out, citing Bloomberg and money making it impossible to go on.

[brush]

[kag]

1. Dammit!

Elizabeth Warren it is.

[OKNancy]

2. Oh no...

I supported her first..gave her money too. I gave to Beto too. Hope I'm not a jinx since I've given to Biden of course.

[redqueen]

4. OT - Sports fan?

[OKNancy]

6. yes of course

Sooner born and Sooner bread and when I die, I'll be Sooner dead.
OU alumna.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Damn. I like her, wish she'd done better.

[mcar]

5. Bloomberg was really out to get her

wonder who he'll target next.

[Celerity]

29. What did Bloomberg do to Harris? He's attacking Rump and Sanders and Warren from all I have seen. nt

[wellst0nev0ter]

39. He hired away a former Harris staffer

Who then ratfucked her with a stinging "resignation letter."

[Celerity]

40. that was not Bloomberg fault, her campaign was falling apart before that

the letter was shite move, but Bloomberg had nothing to do with that

[dewsgirl]

7. Damn I really like her.

[nini]

8. I was expecting this unfortunately

She and Biden were always my top 2 so Joe is my avatar now..

She's an amazing woman and will still do good things for this country.

Let's go Joe!

[tblue37]

12. I hope she is on the VP & AG short lists. nt

[nini]

19. agreed but I don't want to lose her as my senator either

But we certainly need a top notch Attorney General to clean up this mess.

[tblue37]

24. However, at least she would be replaced by a Democrat, which might not be the case if other senators

are raided for a Democratic president's cabinet.

[nini]

26. very true.

Voting Red here doesn't work statewide thankfully.

[samnsara]

33. me too... it was my dream team. I kinda cringed when she attacked joe on stage..

....but you could tell from his face when asked about her dropping out.. he considers her formidable and an asset.

[Clash City Rocker]

9. Fine, I'll just leave my preference at undecided for awhile

It doesn’t seem like the voters like the same candidates I like. I’ll wait awhile and maybe one of the people who are left will inspire me.

[bearsfootball516]

30. As long as you vote for the nominee in November, that's what's most important.

[samnsara]

35. hell i will vote for a damn loaf of bread if its the dem nom...

[Amishman]

36. We could make some good slogans with that; better a loaf than a turd

Well bread not brain dead
Whole wheat because Washington lacks moral fiber

[killaphill]

10. Very sad

So I've switched to Senator Warren.

[handmade34]

11. we really need her

in the Senate!

[George II]

13. Citing Bloomberg as her reason? That's disappointing - she's been polling under 10%....

....since August. Certainly not Bloomberg's fault.

I wish she hadn't said that.

[honest.abe]

15. I guess that was the final straw.

No doubt she was already in decline before Bloomberg.

Still sad to see her go. I hope she is VP pick.

[ismnotwasm]

16. Her official email says it harder to get enough money to compete

Melissa,

Eleven months ago at the launch of our campaign in Oakland I told you all: “I am not perfect. But I will always speak with decency and moral clarity and treat all people with dignity and respect. I will lead with integrity. I will speak the truth.”

And that’s what I have tried to do every day of this campaign. So here’s the truth today.

I’ve taken stock and looked at this from every angle, and over the last few days have come to one of the hardest decisions of my life.

My campaign for president simply doesn’t have the financial resources we need to continue.

I’m not a billionaire. I can’t fund my own campaign. And as the campaign has gone on, it’s become harder and harder to raise the money we need to compete.

In good faith, I can’t tell you, my supporters and volunteers, that I have a path forward if I don’t believe I do.

So, to you my supporters, it is with deep regret -- but also with deep gratitude -- that I am suspending my campaign today.

But I want to be clear with you: I am still very much in this fight.

And I will keep fighting every day for what this campaign has been about. Justice for The People. All the people.

Our campaign has been about fighting for people whose voices have not been heard or too often ignored.

We will keep up that fight.

Let’s remember: we were the first to put the injustice of inadequate teacher pay on the national agenda.

We will keep up that fight.

We were the first to demand justice for our children, declaring we would take bold executive actions to stop gun violence.

We will keep up that fight.

We were the first to demand justice for women with a plan to block unconstitutional state abortion laws.

We will keep up that fight.

And our campaign uniquely spoke to the experiences of Black women and people of color -- and their importance to the success and future of this party. Our campaign demanded no one should be taken for granted by any political party.

We will keep up that fight because no one should be made to fight alone.

And I believe our campaign showed every child in America -- regardless of their color or gender -- that there are no limits to who can lead and hold positions of power in our country.

In that way -- this campaign has been so much bigger than me.

I am extremely grateful to the hundreds of staff who moved and uprooted their lives and sacrificed time away from their families. I know our fight has been personal for each of them.

Of course I could not have done this without my husband Doug and my entire family and friends who gave up so much to embark on this journey with me and have supported me every step of the way.

And I am grateful to the thousands of volunteers and contributors who chipped in, who knocked on doors, who made calls and who put their faith and trust in me. It has been the honor of my life to be your candidate.

And I want to be clear: although I am no longer running for President, I will do everything in my power to defeat Donald Trump and fight for the future of our country and the best of who we are.

I know you will too. So let’s do that together.

Let’s keep fighting for the America we believe in, an America free of injustice. An America that we know we can be unburdened by what has been.

Thank you.

— Kamala

20. The report I heard mentioned Bloomberg.

[George II]

27. In her official email she said "I'm not a billionaire", she didn't mention Bloomberg by name.

[Gothmog]

14. Here is Joe Biden's initial reaction

Link to tweet

[honest.abe]

17. Shows Joe is seriously considering her for VP.

If not I think he would have said something.

[Amishman]

37. Whish shows some extremely good sense on his part

She would be an excellent counter balance for Bidens ticket

[helpisontheway]

38. I would never choose a VP that pulled that stunt at the debate. I

have not cared for her since then.

[TidalWave46]

18. Such promise at the start of her campaign.

I like her a lot. Not sure why she would cite Bloomberg.

[StarfishSaver]

21. This breaks my heart

I am SO sick of people being driven out of races based on polling before a single vote has been cast.

[Peacetrain]

22. Yep ..that load of money is hard for people to get past

I have not a clue why he got in the campaign so late other than to do damage

[brooklynite]

23. Let's be clear that she had pulled the plug on her NH staff before Bloomberg got in...

[brush]

25. Bloomberg and MONEY.

[Afromania]

28. That's alright, there will enough hard work for everybody when this is over.

We need her in whatever capacity she's part of the next government, future AG perhaps Once she's removed from the rolls here I'm putting my support behind Liz.

[Ba2020]

31. Surprised

Wow. this was out of blue. What an abrupt end. I hope she considers in the future. She has a lot of talants.

[samnsara]

32. made sense when it was mentioned she will be splitting her time between the impeachment..

...and campaigning. Im sure her talents wont go unnoticed by the next dem nom..

[FloridaBlues]

34. Yep Bloomberg leaped frog over her and many others

He has money to burn to buy himself an election. Let hope and get out there to make sure he doesn't.
