Senator Kamala Harris, former Prosecutor of California dropped out of the Democratic presidential race on Tuesday.

Harris conceded that low poll numbers and a series of missteps crippled her campaign.  She wanted to be the first black woman to win a major party’s presidential nomination.

The decision came after weeks of upheaval among Ms. Harris’s staff, including layoffs in New Hampshire and at her headquarters in Baltimore, and disarray among her allies. She told supporters in an email on Tuesday that she lacked the money needed to fully finance a competitive campaign.

SENATOR KAMALA HARRIS:  “My campaign for president simply doesn’t have the financial resources we need to continue.”  “But I want to be clear with you: I am still very much in this fight.”
