Democratic Candidate Seth Moulton Ends Presidential Bid
Democratic Massachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton has decided to end his presidential campaign, NBC News has confirmed.
Moulton, who has barely registered in most polls, told the New York Times he will announce the end of his 2020 presidential bid in a speech to the Democratic National Committee on Friday afternoon. He said he has no immediate plans to endorse another candidate.
The Congressman told the Times he plans to seek re-election to his House seat. Several other Democrats have already said they plan to run.
Moulton's campaign officially announced the end of his campaign in an email Friday morning that included a copy of his remarks to the Democratic National Committee's summer meeting on Friday morning.
"I want to use this opportunity, with all of you here, to announce that I am ending my campaign for president," the remarks say. "Though this campaign is not ending the way we hoped, I am leaving this race knowing that we raised issues that are vitally important to the American people and our future."
