Gary Johnson to Quit GOP Presidential Race; Libertarian Party Bid Possible

Gary Johnson is dropping out of the GOP presidential campaign and will consider a third-party run, the former New Mexico governor told Fox News on Tuesday night.

Johnson's libertarian agenda never got traction in the Republican race, and he was excluded from most debates because he barely registered a pulse in the public opinion polls.

Johnson told Fox he may seek the Libertarian Party nomination or pursue an independent bid instead.
