Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) announced Friday she'd suspended her campaign for New York governor and will not seek reelection to the House next year.

Why it matters: Stefanik, one of President Trump's most prominent backers on Capitol Hill and a member of House GOP leadership, just entered the race for governor in November after Trump helped clear the field for her.

She never stood a chance and she knew it. All that jumping into an early lead means nothing. As for , she was an empty there as well.

Imagine being so stupid that you think a dying old rapist who was best friends with the most famous pedophile in history is your key to success. And even worse, you're a woman in the old rapist's movement that mostly exists to subjugate women. So sad.
