Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal calls it quits.
Governor Bobby Jindal has just dropped out of the 2016 race for the Republican nomination for president. Polling around 1 percent, Jindal tacked increasingly right in an attempt to solidify support from evangelical Christians. His efforts were unsuccessful.
On Facebook, Jindal wrote, “this is not my time, so I am suspending my campaign for President.”
Claiming that “our country is off on the wrong track right now,” Jindal wrote, “every single one of us should start every day by thanking God that we are fortunate enough to be US citizens.”
Jindal made his announcement on Fox News:
The small amount of support Jindal received will likely go to far right evangelicals, like Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, and possibly Ben Carson.Â
