Tim Ryan Drops Out of Presidential Race

Congressman Tim Ryan is dropping out of the race for president.

Ryan — who did not make the stage for the last Democratic debate — announced his 2020 bid in April, and six months later he’s calling it in an announcement posted to Twitter.

I’m announcing today that I am withdrawing from the Presidential campaign.

I got into this race in April to really give voice to the forgotten people of our country. I look forward to continuing that fight.

Thank you, to everyone who supported this campaign. pic.twitter.com/BT4z3fQ205

“We’ve given voice to the forgotten communities and the forgotten people in the United States,” he says.

Ryan plans to run for reelection in his district in 2020.
