Bobby Jindal ends GOP presidential campaign
  • 8 years ago
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal ended his long-shot campaign for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination on Tuesday, saying on Fox News that "it's not my time."
While Jindal's campaign showed some progress in Iowa - site of the Feb. 1 caucuses that open the Republican nomination contest - he had trouble gaining traction in other states.
Known as an economic wonk during his years as a U.S. House member and as governor, Jindal stressed social issues during his short-lived presidential campaign.
Jindal is the third member of the very large Republican field to drop out - and the third twice-elected governor, joining former Texas governor Rick Perry and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.
