Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Gingrich Suspends Presidential Campaign

HeadlineMay 03, 2012

Newt Gingrich has bowed out of the Republican presidential race after Mitt Romney wrapped up the nomination with a string of victories last month. Speaking to supporters, Gingrich said he will back Romney because President Obama is “the most, radical leftist president” in U.S. history.

Newt Gingrich: “Today, I’m suspending the campaign, but suspending the campaign does not mean suspending citizenship. Callista and I are committed to be active citizens. We owe it to America. … As to the presidency, I’m asked sometimes, 'Is Mitt Romney conservative enough?' And my answer is simple: Compared to Barack Obama? You know, this is not a choice between Mitt Romney and Ronald Reagan. This is a choice between Mitt Romney and the most radical, leftist president in American history.”
