I knew the odds were a steep hill to climb but I have always fought for what is right and will continue to break barriers never broken,\u201d Messam said in a blog post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite not getting the same early media exposure as other candidates were freely given and transferring millions of dollars from existing federal campaign accounts as many of the candidates did, my campaign shocked many by being recognized as a credible candidate, registering in polls in early states, nearly making the first debate and polling just behind the top four candidates in my battleground state of Florida in a recent Florida Atlantic University Poll. In the end, it was not enough to continue this current race as a candidate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Messam said he will stay \u201cengaged\u201d during the 2020 cycle to try to help the Democratic nominee beat President Donald Trump. He said he will not seek higher office for now, saying \u201crumors concerning my next steps \u2026 are just that, rumors.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2019\/09\/13\/AP19255863685722-1200x800.jpg\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/white.png\" \/><figcaption><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2019\/09\/13\/AP19255863685722.jpg\" \/><\/figcaption><\/a> From left, Democratic presidential candidates Sen.
