Republicans dropping out in droves

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is pulling out of the Republican presidential race.

He finished sixth in New Hampshire's primary.

He said he doesn't have the financial support to continue his campaign.

Christie made waves after Hurricane Sandy hit his city in 2012 - controversially praising Democrat President Barack Obama for the swift relief efforts.

The only female candidate in the Republican race for the US presidential nomination is out.

Carly Fiorina has announced she's suspended her campaign.

They join Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum and Rand Paul, who have also all suspended their campaigns during the Primaries.

A further host of candidates pulled out of the crowded field before voting started. 

It leaves the race poised between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, who have both won one state so far, and a small group of contenders including Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson and New Hampshire runner up John Kasich.
