Kamala Harris exits 2020 presidential race, citing lack of cash

WASHINGTON _ After launching her presidential campaign with a splash in Oakland, Calif., less than a year ago, California Sen. Kamala Harris made an equally stunning exit, telling supporters Tuesday that she did not have the resources to continue her 2020 bid.

"I'm not a billionaire. I can't fund my own campaign. And as the campaign has gone on, it's become harder and harder to raise the money we need to compete," Harris wrote in an email.

An early favorite in the race, she drops out two weeks before her home state is slated to host the sixth presidential debate in Los Angeles and exactly two months before the Iowa caucuses, where her campaign had increasingly focused its efforts.
