The caucuses and primaries of presidential elections are pivotal moments. The outcomes of these elections can greatly influence or determine whether or not candidates remain in the race. More often than not, certain contenders will suspend their campaigns even prior to these events if they don’t believe they can win.
In 2020 alone, several Democrats have suspended their presidential campaigns. As of tonight, the latest candidate to bow out is none other than tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang. The end of Yang’s campaign also comes on the night of the New Hampshire primary election.
Why Yang Suspended His Campaign
The entrepreneur’s presidential campaign has experienced a consistently steady decline for quite some time now.
Yang didn’t perform very well in the Iowa caucus, therefore prompting him to lay off a considerable amount of campaign workers. Similarly to in Iowa, the now-former candidate isn’t projected to do very well in tonight’s New Hampshire election. As of now, reports show that Bernie Sanders is leading while Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg compete for second place.
