Former US Vice President Mike Pence has withdrawn from the presidential election in 2024.
On Saturday afternoon, he made the news before the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las Vegas.
“We always knew this would be a difficult battle,” he said, according to the Associated Press.
Mr Pence had not performed as well as expected among Republican voters in a contest for the nomination driven by former President Donald Trump.

Mr Pence’s campaign has accumulated up substantial amounts of debt, with him owing $621,000 (£512,038) at the end of September and only US$1.2 million (£989,446) in the bank – significantly less than his Republican competitors.
Many Republican voters abandoned him after he publicly disagreed with Mr Trump over the 6 January Capitol riot in 2021, and after he presided over the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election results in Congress.
