Ron Paul pulls out of race
Texas Rep. Ron Paul has ended his bid for the Republican presidential nomination.
Paul said he is suspending his campaign to focus on building an organization to help recruit and elect “constitutionalists, limited government Republicans across the country at the state and federal level.”
The Texas Republican is expected to discuss his future sometime during the next three days at the Texas Republican State Convention in Houston.
“With the primary season now over, the presidential campaign is at an end,” Paul said a the letter announcing his intentions. “But the larger campaign for freedom is just getting started.”
