Former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld has bowed out of the 2020 race for the Republican presidential nomination, according to the New York Times.
Why it matters: Weld was the first Republican to announce a primary bid against President Trump and the last one remaining in the race. Trump clinched the Republican nomination with victories in the Illinois and Florida primaries on Tuesday night.
