President Trump responded to news that Sen. Kamala Harris was dropping out of the 2020 Democratic presidential primary by saying it was "too bad" she was leaving the race.

"We will miss you Kamala!" Trump said Tuesday evening on Twitter. The president's campaign was similarly dismissive of the California Democrat dropping out of the race.

"Kamala Harris’s departure doesn’t change anything. It has never mattered to us who emerges from the Democrat primaries. Whoever it is will be running on a big government socialist platform and will be overmatched against President Trump and his record of accomplishment," Tim Murtaugh, the Trump campaign's communications director, told the Washington Examiner in a statement.

Harris, 55, announced Tuesday she would be exiting the race as she continued to have campaign dysfunction and flagging support in the polls. "I’m not a billionaire. I can’t fund my own campaign. And as the campaign has gone on, it’s become harder and harder to raise the money we need to compete," Harris said in a statement.

The former California attorney general qualified for the Democratic debate on Dec. 19. She entered the race at the beginning of 2019 as one of the front-runners and is the biggest name so far to drop out of the Democratic primary.
