Former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley(53)(Democrat Candidate)who had trouble gaining any
traction in the Democratic race, suspended his campaign after coming in
third in Iowa with 0.6% of the vote on Monday February 01,2016
“I want to thank everyone who came out to our events and lent me
their ear and everyone who went out to caucus for me tonight,” O’Malley
told supporters as he announced his decision.
Martin O’Malley’s effort to cast himself as being at the forefront of a “new generation of leadership” never gained traction, as he struggled to raise money and get a toehold in the polls after formally announcing his bid in late May in Baltimore.
Although Martin O’Malley appeared to be well-liked by many of the Iowa caucus-goers whose support he tirelessly courted, he was unable to make a compelling argument as to why they should side with him over Clinton, a Democrat backed by much of the party establishment, and Sanders, an insurgent candidate who captivated the restless left wing of the party
