The former representative from Maryland said in a statement on Twitter, “lt has been a privilege to campaign for the Democratic nomination for President, but it is clear that God has a different purpose for me at this moment in time.”

Delaney is the latest to drop out - joining more high-profile names such as Kamala Harris and Cory Booker in not making it to the Iowa caucuses on Monday.
