Carly Fiorina drops out of presidential race

Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina suspended her bid for the Republican presidential nomination, she announced Wednesday.

"While I suspend my candidacy today, I will continue to travel this country and fight for those Americans who refuse to settle for the way things are and a status quo that no longer works for them," Fiorina said in a statement.

She fared poorly in both the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary. It didn't take long for the Democratic Party to weigh in on Fiorina's announcement.
