Booker had struggled to make a dent in the polls and did not qualify for Tuesday's presidential primary debate ahead of the Iowa caucuses.
"It's with a full heart that I share this news — I've made the hard decision to suspend my campaign for president," Booker said in a statement alongside a video that announced he's ending his campaign. "And so now I recommit myself to the work. I can't wait to get back on the campaign trail and campaign as hard as I can for whoever is the eventual nominee and for candidates up and down the ballot," Booker said."Campaigning over this last year has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. Meeting you, meeting people across this country who believe — who know — that we have challenges right now in our nation, but together we will rise," the senator said.
"Together, we will channel our common pain back into our common purposes," Booker said a video announcing the launch of his campaign last year. "Together, America, we will rise."
That’s disappointing he was so well spoken
