Breaking: Martin O’Malley To Quit Presidential Campaign Tonight – Reports
Democratic Candidate Proved Not Viable In Iowa Caucuses And Nationwide
Martin O’Malley is expected to suspend his presidential campaign in a speech to Iowa voters tonight. The former Maryland Democratic Governor was unable to gain traction in Iowa or nationwide.
His supporters in New Hampshire will now be free to support either Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders at next week’s primary.
O’Malley therefore won’t attend Thursday’s Democratic debate in the Granite State.
