Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) announced on Tuesday night that he is dropping out of the Democratic presidential race.
Bennet broke the news to supporters in New Hampshire, where early primary results show he received just 0.3 percent of the vote. "They've decided tonight, and tonight is not gonna be our night," he said. "But let me say this to New Hampshire: You may see me once again. So, thank you."
