Rick Perry Out
Editor’s Note: This article previously appeared in a different format as part of The Atlantic’s Notes section, retired in 2021.
The former Texas governor just dropped out of the presidential race. My colleague David has details here. Perry is talking now:
.@GovernorPerry: "I am suspending my campaign for the presidency of the United States." http://t.co/J7UMwu1ndB https://t.co/Ru3C8uhJAo

.@GovernorPerry is a terrific guy and I wish him well- I know he will have a great future!
