Fred Thompson Drops Out of Presidential Race

Former Sen. Fred Thompson has withdrawn as a candidate for President. “Today, I have withdrawn my candidacy for president of the United States. I hope that my country and my party have benefited from our having made this effort,” the former Tennessee senator said in a brief statement.

While Thompson has not stated who he will support for the nomination, he was a supporter of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) in 2000.
