Harris wrote in an email to supporters Tuesday that her campaign has struggled to raise the funds needed to continue funding organizers and staff across the country.
“I’ve taken stock and looked at this from every angle, and over the last few days have come to one of the hardest decisions of my life. My campaign for president simply doesn’t have the financial resources we need to continue,” she wrote.
“But I want to be clear with you: I am still very much in this fight. And I will keep fighting every day for what this campaign has been about. Justice for The People. All the people,” Harris added.
Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), a 2020 presidential candidate, also shared photos of himself with Harris, calling her a “trailblazer” and saying her campaign “broke barriers.”
“My dear friend @KamalaHarris is a trailblazer. I’ve loved serving with her in the Senate and every moment we’ve run into one another on the trail. Her campaign broke barriers and did it with joy. Love you, sister,” Booker tweeted.
