Beto O’Rourke is thanking his supporters after announcing he’s quit the presidential race.
Speaking from Des Moines, the former congressman from Texas said the campaign has been the honor of a lifetime and it was a difficult decision to bow out, but ultimately his camp did not have the means for a successful bid.
O’Rourke says he still plans to advocate for gun safety, although he did not specify whether he plans to run for Congress again.
