Forbes pulls out of race,
pledges support to Dole
WASHINGTON — With just 76
delegates to show for his $30 million
investment, Steve Forbes decided
Wednesday to abandon his bid for the
Republican presidential nomination
and throw his support to GOP front
runner Bob Dole, aides said.
Forbes planned a Thursday after
noon withdrawal announcement in
Washington, said campaign manager
Bill Dal Col. A senior Forbes aide,
speaking on condition of anonymity,
said Forbes would endorse Dole and
pledge his help in defeating President
Clinton in the fall.
Dal Col said one reason Forbes put
off the formal announcement for a day
was so that his family could join him.
“No doubt about it — it helps,”
Dole said when asked about the effect
of Forbes’ withdrawal. He declined
further comment until Forbes makes
his remarks Thursday.
Forbes had vowed as recently as
Wednesday morning to stay in the race
through the March 19 Midwestern
recent weeks that he wants to take his
flat-tax message to the voters.
But in the face ofTuesday’s defeat,
he talked openly about getting out of
the race if he didn’t have a strong
showing in next week’s Rust Belt pri
maries, setting in motion a series of
night-and-day consultations that led to
his decision to withdraw.
And after spending much of the day
closeted in a Washington hotel room
with advisers, Forbes accepted their
judgment that the chances for a vic
tory in Illinois, Ohio, Michigan or
Wisconsin were bleak, given Dole’s
big lead.
Forbes then began considering
quitting sooner and contacted several
associates outside his senior campaign
staff before making his decision,
sources said.
A key issue was when and where
to make the announcement. Forbes
considered returning to his New Jer
sey home to withdraw, but eventually
decided to stay in the capital, accord
ing to a source familiar with the de
liberations.
Consulting with Forbes during the
day were former Sens. Malcolm Wal
lop and Bob Kasten. Former Housing
Secretary Jack Kemp — whose offer
to serve as a bridge between Forbes
and Dole enmeshed the campaign in
controversy during its final days —
also attended some of the sessions.
Forbes’ decision came after the
euphoria of winning the Delaware and
Arizona primaries evaporated in the
face of a string of resounding defeats.
Since Arizona, Forbes has not spent
much money on television advertising,
a sign to campaign watchers that he
had reached the limit of how deep he
was willing to dig into his personal
fortune to finance his campaign.
Overall, Forbes spent more than
$30 million, nearly all his own money,
to earn 901,000 votes during the pri
mary season — 16 percent of those
cast, putting him third behind Dole
and Pat Buchanan.
