Former Alaska Governor told conservative radio host Mark Levin Wednesday that she will not be seeking the Republican nomination for President.
Levin made the announcement via Twitter and read a statement written by Palin on the air.
Palin’s decision to bow out of the race puts an end to over two years worth of White House buzz. While Palin declined to follow the traditional routes of most would-be candidates, she kept speculation alive by refusing to officially decline a run and hosting a small bus tour earlier this year.
The announcement comes on the heels of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s decision to stay out of the race. Her exit means that the GOP field has essentially solidified.
