BREAKING: GOP Presidential Candidate Drops Out Of The Race Against Trump

On Monday, GOP presidential candidate and North Dakota governor Doug Burgum announced that he would be dropping out of the race for his party's nomination after failing to gain any significant momentum in the early primary states. The wealthy governor first announced his bid in June and was able to make it to the debate stage twice before failing to qualify for the third debate.

Burgum has failed to generate significant support over the past few months after attempting to take a more economics focused campaign. Despite those efforts, however, he did not gain momentum in the polling with only 0.7 percent support in the Five Thirty Eight national polling average.

"Today, we have made the decision to suspend our campaign for president of the United States," Burgum wrote on X/Twitter. "Our decision to run came from a place of caring deeply about every American, and our mission to re-establish trust in American leadership and our institutions of democracy. In community after community, we have witnessed the best of America, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who supported us along the way. Kathryn and I remain committed to fighting for the people who make our nation so exceptional."
