Jeb Bush ended his participation in the Republican internal process that despite capturing tremendous financial support from donors, failed to attract the angry voters with Washington or the leery of sending another member of the Bush family house Blanca.
Bush, with some watery eyes, said he was proud of the campaign he had undertaken to unify the country and promote conservative solutions.
The son and brother of former presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush in June had joined the Republican internal strife and raised high expectations, which had encouraged with great fundraising.
However, Bush declined rapidly in the polls over some of his more outgoing Republican contenders, like billionaire Donald Trump and Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who had been presented as alternatives contrary to the political mainstream from the initial favorite.
After the poor results he had in Iowa and New Hampshire, Bush hopes fincaba in South Carolina, a state in which the name has retained some influence.
However, Bush did not finish in the top three in South Carolina. To stay in the race, he could have faced the demands of GOP leaders and donors to withdraw.
