Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal announced Tuesday night he is suspending his 2016 campaign for president.

Jindal first made the announcement on FOX News’ “Special Report.”

“I’ve come to the realization this is not my time,” Jindal told host Bret Baier. “So I’ve come here to announce I’m suspending my campaign for president of the United States.”

In a longer statement released after his announcement, Jindal said it was an “honor” to run for president while reflecting on his life story.

Jindal’s announcement comes just days after an interview with the Daily where he said his Iowa strategy of visiting all 99 counties would “pay off” and lead him toward an Iowa Caucus victory in February.

Jindal was also scheduled to make stops in Iowa this week, including a town hall meeting Thursday in Ames and an appearance at the Family Leader presidential forum Friday in Des Moines.
