This R&D provides resources on Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s decision to end his bid for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. Walker’s poll numbers were falling rapidly over the last month and reports circulated that his campaign had run out of funds. Once leading polls in Iowa and deemed as one of the party’s stronger candidates, Walker struggled on foreign policy questions and was seemingly overshadowed by rogue candidate Donald Trump. Walker is the second Republican candidate to drop out of the race.
