California Senator Kamala Harris dropped out of the Democrat presidential race, according to numerous reports, on Tuesday. The Atlantic’s Edward-Isaac Devore was first to report.
NEWS – Kamala Harris is dropping out of the presidential election today, I'm told reliably. She's informing staff now.

In typical Democrat style, Harris blamed a collapse of fundraising and whined about not a billionaire who can self-finance.
To my supporters, it is with deep regret—but also with deep gratitude—that I am suspending my campaign today.
But I want to be clear with you: I will keep fighting every day for what this campaign has been about. Justice for the People. All the people.https://t.co/92Hk7DHHbR

As Nate Silver tweeted out shortly after Harris’s announcement: “With Harris dropping out, all 6 of the remaining candidates who have qualified for this month’s debate are white. (Biden, Bernie, Warren, Steyer, Buttigieg, Klobuchar).”
That leaves only Pocahontas Warren as the only person of color left in the top tier of the Democratic presidential race.
Warren, who is 1/1024th native American, famously lied about her heritage to boost her career in academia in an elaborate hoax for years.
