Former NJGOP chairman Doug Steinhardt announced that he will no longer be seeking the Republican nomination for governor in 2021. Steinhardt announced his bid just several weeks ago.

“Last month, I was thrilled to announce our campaign for Governor, and the positive response from grassroots activists and donors has been overwhelming,” Steinhardt said in a statement. “While our strong standing in this race makes this decision even more heart-breaking, unfortunately, unforeseen professional obligations have made it untenable for me to continue in this race as a candidate for Governor.”

The New Jersey Globe reports that the decision to drop out came after Steinhardt reassessed his campaign following the storming of the US Capitol last week. Steinhardt has been a vocal supporter of President Trump, and included the president in a video announcing his candidacy.
