Dennis Kucinich quits presidential race
Cleveland ? Democrat Dennis Kucinich abandoned his presidential bid Friday to focus on a tough race for re-election to Congress.
Kucinich, speaking at a union hall, told supporters who chanted “Dennis, Dennis,” that he would work to keep his campaign promises, not as president, but as a member of the U.S. House.
“I won’t be president, but I can continue to fight for these important issues as the United States congressman representing the community that is first in my heart, Cleveland, Ohio,” he said.
The six-term House member got only 1 percent of the vote in the New Hampshire presidential primary and was shut out in the Iowa caucuses.
