Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal drops out of presidential race

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal announced he has dropped out of the presidential race on Tuesday.

In an interview with Fox News, Jindal stated, "This is not my time."

The Republican failed to make the main stage for the four GOP debates. Even though he concentrated his efforts in Iowa, he didn't gain much support there against higher-profile Republican candidates.

Jindal has been one of the more vocal candidates to criticize other front-runners such as Donald Trump.

Jindal has served as governor of Louisiana since 2008, after serving in the House for three years.

The governor is term-limited in Louisiana and will be out of office in January. Jindal said he intends to work with a think tank he started a few years ago called America Next.
