Jindal Exits Presidential Race, Returns To Louisiana With 8 More Weeks As Governor

Louisiana governor and GOP presidential candidate Bobby Jindal announced on Tuesday night that he’d be exiting the presidential race and returning to Louisiana where his incumbent will be elected on Saturday.

“This is not my time,” he said during a Fox News interview.

Jindal, who never gained much traction in the primary and recently was polling at under one percent, has just less than two months as head of Lousiana, a state that has been struggling under his leadership. Currently, his disapproval rating has hit a historic 70 percent.

Since Jindal took office in 2008, Louisiana has earned some dubious honors. The state has the largest gender pay gap in the country, with women making 66 cents for every dollar a man earns.

it was pretty hard for him to hold on back there and as the car went down the road, he fell off and bounced back to Louisiana.

Isn't that what you're supposed to do?

But you do have to be qualified for the job you're trying to get, Piyush.
