Kamala Harris Drops Out of 2020 Presidential Race: ‘One of the Hardest Decisions of My Life’ – WATCH

*Given all the negative headlines we’ve been hearing about her campaign over the past several weeks and months, it’s no surprise that Senator Kamala Harris is dropping out of the 2020 presidential race.

After at one point, being the front runner in several polls, she lost her footing and never quite recovered.

Harris struggled to gain traction outside her native California, lagging behind the Democratic pack in poll after poll.

As she’s leaving the race, she’s only averaging 3 percent support. As a comparison, former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg kicked off with 6 percent this week before he even started campaigning.

Speaking of Bloomberg, it’s being reported that some of Harris’ staff had already left her to work the billionaire’s campaign.

Politico is reporting that Harris told aides of her intentions in an all-staff call on Tuesday, and a person familiar with the conversation said she sounded distraught. While Harris had qualified for the December debate in her home state later this month, she was running dangerously low on cash — lacking the resources to air TV ads in Iowa — and her staff was gripped by long-running internal turmoil.

Here’s part of Harris’ message

“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,” Harris wrote in a note to supporters.

“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.”
