Former small town mayor who became a leading figure in the democratic president ial race has ended his Campaign People to judge told his supporters that he no longer sora chance of winning the 1st and only gay candid it narr of the defeated Bernie Sanders in the Iowa Caucuses and finished just strong 2nd in New Hampshire but he struggled in states with large minority populations his announcement comes just 2 days before super tuesday when 14 states vote to choose a democratic challenger to donald trump. This strange reason we got into this race in order to defeat the current president and in order to usher in a new kind of pot and so we must recognize that at this point in the race the best way to keep pace with those goals and ideals is to step aside and help bring our party and our country together so tonight i making the difficult decision to suspend my campaign for the present and voting is underway in israel in the 3rd general election in less than a year israeli politics remains as fractured as in the previous 2 elections when no party was able to form a government iran can reports from west jerusalem. Driving through tel aviv the Election Campaign is in full swing for the 3rd time within a year in the 2 previous general elections in a poll in september no party was able to form a government israelis are hoping that will change it this time its important that they have their young son and i want him to know that were still fighting for the future of this country. And everybody should have told hate is quite frustrating. Let. Me see. It looks like its all to be the same because its our duty as a state to fan and i hope now it will be different these 2 political leaders again center stage Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu of the likud party and his biggest rival benny gantz leader of the blue and white party neither managed a majority in last years elections. So making deals with smaller parties is essential for me government netanyahu has other problems indicted in 3 separate Corruption Cases court cases his rivals say make him unfit to be Prime Minister there was true islam and across as there is a fair that this election will be inconclusive and israel will head to the polls for a full 3rd spoil a many are now asking the question whether it needs to be political Electoral Reform theres no doubt that when a political crisis a political deadlock something that is unprecedented and that our electoral system needs a significant reform in order to ensure that our election system campaigns have a decisive outcome the israelis have had a caretaker government since april and voters hope that this election proves to be decisive. All right lets go live now to enron in west jerusalem and a man as youve pointed out time in less than a yeah all the polls predicting that theyll be any different to the result well theres so much math going on theres so Much Coalition building that has to happen for any one party in the only really 2 parties if that have a chance of getting power Netanyahu Likud party and benny gantz is blue and white party so they have to make deals with smaller policies but over the last few days i have been speaking to lots of israelis. Didnt ask the question to them are they 1st rated with the entire political process on the overwhelming or marty has been yes we we wish there had been a deal we wish we werent going to come to a 3rd election but here we are we have to come out and vote and i have to say its very early in the morning the polls only opened about 1520 minutes ago and theres already a steady stream of people coming into this station in west jerusalem so it looks like people do want to come out and vote whether it will be a higher turnout than the elections in april also remains to be saying obviously but a lot of people now are taking a look at the campaigns the well actually fought by those 2 main parties the could. And theyre criticizing the good for taking an almost baxi approach saying that being very confident they are going to be able to win this election and others are saying that benny gantz is white party didnt get out the vote enough it wasnt simply in that combative kind of mode to get people to go and vote for them so the polls are now open we expect them to close off tonight and well see a result. We expect to see the results coming in very late in to choose day so now its all about the math its lets see how many seats people get and then what kind of coalitions can be built. Give you give you voice arrest him around because well be talking to a lot throughout the day thank you very much indeed. Lots more to come here at including we get rare access to me in state where the denies genocide against a range it took place.
