North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum announced Monday that he is ending his bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

We launched our campaign with a clear-eyed mission: Bring a business leader and proven governor’s voice to fight for the best of America. We will always remain committed to fighting for that, and for the people who make our nation so exceptional. ???????? pic.twitter.com/ugSM7SysxS

Burgum entered the race in June. Funding was not an issue and he was able to qualify for the first two debates. However, neither of those translated into much voter support. At the time of his withdrawal, he was averaging under 1% in national Republican polls.

Six prominent candidates remain in the race, with former President Donald Trump still the dominant frontrunner. Voting is set to begin with the Iowa caucuses on January 15.
