After placing seventh in last night's New Hampshire primary, Carly Fiorina announced this afternoon that she is suspending her presidential campaign. In a statement posted to her Facebook page, the former Hewlitt-Packard CEO wrote:
Our Republican Party must fight alongside these Americans as well. We must end crony capitalism by fighting the policies that allow it to flourish. We must fix our festering problems by holding our bloated, inept government bureaucracy accountable. Republicans must stand for conservative principles that lift people up and recognize all Americans have the right to fulfill their God-given potential.
She also used the post to articulate her thoughts on feminism and reaching female voters:
According to last night's returns, Fiorina garnered just 4.1 percent of the vote. Earlier this year, Fiorina spoke to 51 Million correspondent S.E. Cupp about current Republican front-runner Donald Trump, saying: "Donald Trump is controversial. Donald Trump is entertaining. Donald Trump is not a leader, and I do not think Donald Trump will be our nominee. If he were, Hillary Clinton would wipe the floor with him."
In addition to Fiorina's campaign suspension, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is also likely to drop out of the race after his disappointing performance in New Hampshire, according to The New York Times.
