Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper is expected to drop out of the presidential race Thursday morning, a campaign staffer confirmed to POLITICO.
Hickenlooper will make the announcement via video. The video will not speak to whether he is launching a bid for U.S. Senate, the staffer said.
The news comes after the two-term former governor failed to gain ground amid a sprawling field of Democrats.
In July, POLITICO reported that Hickenlooper’s campaign was in shambles and that his own senior team urged him to bow out then.At the time, the ex-governor told advisers he wanted to give it another month on the presidential campaign trail.
