“I think the Republican Party has to lay out the pathway why we are the party for opportunity and growth”.

Jindal focused his entire campaign effort on the early voting state of Iowa.

Republican presidential candidate Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, addresses the Sunshine Summit in Orlando, Fla., Saturday, November 14, 2015. At the end of September, he had just $260,000 in his campaign account.

Jindal’s advisers blamed finances as well as the debate criteria that locked him out of the prime-time events for the governor’s decision to exit the competition.

Anderson said the campaign didn’t raise the money they wanted, but that was not the only reason Jindal withdrew. “It’s not easy. He’s a fighter and his instinct is to never give up, but also you have to be realistic in politics”.

Jindal said states can’t afford to extend their state spending and the federal government can’t be trusted to fulfill its funding obligation. In Milwaukee November 10, he took aim at Christie, who was relegated to the kids’ table for the first time because of his low poll standing.

But retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who with businessman Donald Trump are far ahead of the rest of the Republican field, captured numerous conservative voters Jindal had hoped would come his way.

On November 16, Jindal signed an executive order to prevent Syrian refugees to be settled in Louisiana, and sent a letter to President Barack Obama demanding to know more information about the settlement program.
