La. Gov. Bobby Jindal Drops Out of 2016 Presidential Race

This week, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal announced that he is suspending his campaign for the 2016 presidency, saying it is "not [his] time" to run for Commander-in-Chief.

Jindal made his announcement after he remained a lower contender in the 2016 presidential race, participating in the junior debates throughout the election.

"I've come to the realization that this is not my time," the Louisiana governor told Fox News Channel in a recent interview.

Jindal added in a statement that going forward, he plans to work on "a blueprint for making this the American century."

"Going forward, I believe we have to be the party of growth and we can never stop being the party that believes in opportunity. We cannot settle for the left's view of envy and division," Jindal added.

Fellow 2016 presidential contender Donald Trump told "Fox and Friends" that although he sees Jindal as a "nice guy," he is "not unhappy" to see him, along with fellow contenders, leave the election.

"He tried very hard. I think he's a nice guy. I think he's a good man," Trump said, adding "you know, I'm not unhappy to see one by one they go."

Jindal has attacked Trump in the past, calling the real estate mogul a "carnival act" who will make a democrat the next president of the United States.

"Folks, Donald Trump is not a serious person. This is a carnival act. These are serious times for our country," Jindal said while speaking at the National Press Club back in September.

"The Democrats have practically gift wrapped this election for us. The whole thing is set up for us to win, now we're flirting with nominating a non-serious, unstable, substantive-free candidate. We cannot send this narcissist, we cannot nominate this egomaniac," Jindal added.
