Montana Gov. Steve Bullock Drops White House Bid

Forgot he was running, didn’t you?

Vox reports:

Montana Gov. Steve Bullock has suspended his long-shot bid to become the 2020 Democratic nominee for president. Since announcing in May, Bullock had struggled to break through nationally. He didn’t qualify for most of the DNC debates, appearing on stage just once in July. His campaign pinned its 2020 hopes on a strong showing in the Iowa caucuses, hoping Bullock’s middle-of-the-road approach would win over voters.

National Democrats have long hoped term-limited Bullock would leave the presidential campaign trail to run against Republican incumbent Sen. Steve Daines. Bullock has said he has no interest in running for Senate, and following the suspension of his campaign, an aide told the New York Times that has not changed, despite the fact his Senate candidacy could make Democrats’ slim chances of retaking the Senate more likely.
