"It's Clearly Not My Time": de Blasio Drops Out

New York City mayor Bill de Blasio has ended his presidential campaign:

“Getting out there — being able to hear people’s concerns, addressing them with new ideas — has been an extraordinary experience, but I have to tell you at the same time I feel like I’ve contributed all I can to this primary election, and it’s clearly not my time, so I’m going to end my presidential campaign,” de Blasio said during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” (From the Washington Post, read more here.)
