“I’ve seen fallible men rise up to the challenges of our time with humility and clarity of purpose to make our nation safer, stronger and freer… I firmly believe the American people must entrust this office to someone who understands that whoever holds it is a servant, not the master, someone who will commit to that service with honor and decency.”
— Jeb Bush, in a speech announcing he was suspending his campaign.
