Montana Gov. Steve Bullock ended his Democratic presidential campaign Monday
"While there were many obstacles we could not have anticipated when entering this race, it has become clear that in this moment, I won't be able to break through to the top tier of this still-crowded field of candidates," he said in a statement Monday.
Bullock, a 53-year-old two-term governor and former attorney general, had the textbook resume for primary success in past presidential elections. He's a former labor lawyer and a gun owner whose governing record included expanding Medicaid in a red state. He touted across-the-aisle appeal, arguing he was the best bet to defeat President Donald Trump because he was the only Democratic candidate to win in a state that Trump won in 2016.
He struggled to raise money and register in the polls, managing to meet qualification thresholds for only one DNC debate, in July. Term limit laws prevent him from running for governor again in 2020, and he has repeatedly brushed off Democratic hopes that he'd instead run for Senate against first-term Republican Steve Daines. Bullock has said that he has no interest in the Senate seat and that there are already strong candidates running against Daines.
