"Chafee, who never gained any traction in national or early-state polling, leaves the race just two days after Vice President Joe Biden opted against a run, and three days after former Virginia senator Jim Webb ended his own bid.

Immediately after announcing the end of his campaign, Chafee pivoted to the importance of women."
