    “It’s like we learned nothing in 2016, which saw the election of the most ridiculous reactionary as our tweeter in chief. We learned nothing even after as progressive candidates swept into the House in 2018, most of them from the middle parts of the country and red states.”

    It’s with profound gratitude to all of our supporters that I suspend my campaign for president today. I’m so proud of everything we’ve accomplished together. I’m going to keep fighting for an America where everyone counts—I hope you’ll join me in that fight.

    When the Senate convenes to conduct the impeachment trial of President Trump, I will swear an oath to uphold the Constitution, review evidence, and follow the facts wherever they lead. I’ll be fighting for justice, and each of my colleagues should too.
