Kamala Harris, the California freshman senator, suspended her presidential run Tuesday, marking a lackluster end to an initially soaring presidential bid premised on her personal biography and prosecutorial acumen. In an email to supporters, Harris blamed her campaign’s end on a lack of money. According to a new poll, a majority of California Democrats wanted Harris to drop out of the race. The poll, conducted by the Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies for The Times, showed that by 61% to 24% likely Democratic primary voters in California thought Harris should quit the race. Harris’ support in the state had steadily slipped, and she was the first choice of only 7% of the state’s Democratic primary voters, according to the poll, which was conducted Nov. 21-27.
