Former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore has dropped out of the race for President.
“My campaign was intended to offer the gubernatorial experience, with the track record of a true conservative, experienced in national security, to unite the party,” Gilmore said in a statement. “I will continue to do everything I can to ensure that our next President is a free enterprise Republican who will restore our nation to greatness and keep our citizens safe.”

Is there any word of him using this to position himself for a run at something? He really didn’t run much of a campaign, so I can only presume that he was trying to get word out in Virginia so that he can have a shot at one office or another.
I haven’t heard anything about him running for something else. VP? A cabinet job? Don’t know.
Secretary of Defense, maybe.
I frankly appreciate his taking the time to run as otherwise I would not have had the opportunity in my lifetime to actually see what I had been told was a theoretical statistical polling impossibility occur, one that would unlikely ever happen. That was the extended campaign time duration he ran in the “negative” 2-3% poll range upon the polling margin of error being applied to his polled inputs. There is bad, there is very bad and then there is unique. Thank you ex-Governor Gilmore for my glimpse at the unique.
