Sen. Lindsey Graham has suspended his efforts to be the next president of the United States.

In a video posted to his website Monday, Graham thanked his supporters and said he was proud of his "problem-solvers campaign."

"I believe we've run a campaign that you can be proud of. We put forth bold and practical solutions to big problems," Graham said in the video.

Arizona Sen. John McCain released a statement shortly after Graham's announcement

"Republicans lost our most qualified, thoughtful, fearless and honest presidential candidate, not to mention the candidate with the best (and it seemed sometimes the only) sense of humor," said McCain.

"As sorry as I am to see Lindsey's candidacy end, I understand his reasons, and I'm as proud of him as I've ever been for his exemplary service to our party and our country," the statement continued.
