California State Democratic Sen. Camella Harris announced Tuesday her retirement from the Democratic presidential race after months of a shuffle campaign.

The news of her resignation was received by her headquarters staff in a taped phone in which she informed them of her retirement and apologized to them for not moving on to the premier stage in the various countries.

"With great regret, but with deep gratitude, I want to let you know that I am ending my campaign today," Harris wrote on her Twitter page. "But I want to be clear, I will continue to fight every day for what this campaign represents, justice for the people, all the people," Harris added.

Harris was born to a Jamaican father and a Tamil mother. Upon entering the race, Harris was marked by the US media as a leading candidate, but the results of the polls, which gave her a few percent of support, crushed the campaign even before the election began.

Harris, who previously served as the California State Attorney General, is known for supporting immigrants and facilitating immigration policies. In 2017, Harris visited Israel, toured Yad Vashem and met with local politicians.
