BREAKING: Washington Gov. Jay Inslee drops out of the 2020 presidential race
Gov. Jay Inslee of Washington pulled out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination on Wednesday, saying “it has become clear I’m not going to be carrying the ball. I’m not going to become president.”
Inslee’s decision to drop out comes about a week before the deadline to qualify for the next Democratic debate. Inslee struggled to gain any real traction in the primary, and while he had met the donor threshold set by the Democratic National Committee for the September debate, he was nowhere near meeting the polling requirement. Ten of the remaining 22 candidates have qualified so far.Sign Up
In an email to supporters announcing his decision to drop out, Inslee acknowledged that it quickly became clear he would not be able to reach the polling threshold, even as he garnered the 130,000 donors needed. The Washington governor was a longshot from the beginning of the race, starting out with a tiny war chest and no real name identification. He framed his candidacy almost exclusively around climate change, hoping that it would set him apart from the rest of the field.
