And the undercard debates get a little smaller:
Senator Lindsey Graham is ending his presidential campaign, he told CNN during an exclusive interview airing Monday.
“I’m going to suspend my campaign. I’m not going to suspend my desire to help the country,” the South Carolina senator said in a wide-ranging and candid discussion in which he acknowledged: “I’ve hit a wall here.”
Graham hit the wall some months ago. It’s only now that he has realized the impact was fatal.
The South Carolina Senator won’t be the last to drop out of the GOP presidential race, and given the number of ballot deadlines some candidates have failed to meet (Pataki, Gilmore) other “suspensions” are likely to follow.
