汤姆·斯泰尔（Tom Steyer）在周六晚上在南卡罗来纳州初选中表现出了民主党总统竞选的最佳表现。这位亿万富翁看了看结果，并说他的最佳表现还不够好，他退出了民主党总统竞选。
Steyer一直是气候变化的积极分子和拥护者，他在南卡罗来纳州的电视和社交媒体广告上花费了近2400万美元，在广告中排名第三，仅次于Joe Biden和Bernie Sanders。此外，斯蒂尔至少没有赢得南卡罗来纳州15％的选票，这是赢得代表的门槛。
Steyer之前曾说过，如果他看不到赢得民主党提名的道路，那么他将退出竞选。在星期六晚上，他正式宣布退出。
据美联社报道，施泰尔说：“老实说，我看不到能赢得总统职位的道路。”
斯蒂尔仅赢得了48,000票，或不到12％的南卡罗来纳州民主党人。
斯泰尔不仅把钱扔到了南卡罗来纳州，希望这将成为他在竞选中脱颖而出的出发点，还花了很多时间呼吁拥有56％非洲裔美国人的帕尔梅托州的黑人选民。
“我是否将继续处理这些问题中的每一个？” 斯蒂尔星期六晚上说。“是的，我当然是。我从未停止过。”
根据美联社的数据，Steyer的身家为16亿美元。在2019年，他发布了一系列广告，称为“需要弹”，这使许多民主党人相信Steyer可能是合适的人，有可能在2020年大选中挑战唐纳德·特朗普总统。
BILLIONAIRE TOM STEYER DROPS OUT OF DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL RACE AFTER SOUTH CAROLINA PRIMARY
Tom Steyer had his best showing of the Democratic presidential race on Saturday night in the South Carolina primary. The billionaire looked at the results and said that his best was not good enough, and he dropped out of the Democratic presidential race.
Steyer has been an activist and a champion for climate change, and he spent nearly $24 million in TV and social media advertising in South Carolina, where he placed third behind Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders. Furthermore, Steyer did not win at least 15 percent of the South Carolina vote, which was the threshold to gain delegates.
Steyer previously said that if he did not see a path to winning the Democratic nomination, then he would step aside from the race. On Saturday night, he formally announced his withdrawal.
"Honestly, I can't see a path where I can win the presidency," Steyer said, according to the Associated Press.
Steyer won just 48,000 votes—or just less than 12 percent—of South Carolina Democrats.
It wasn't just money that Steyer dumped into South Carolina, hoping it would become his launching point to prominence in the campaign, he spent a lot of time appealing to the black voters in the Palmetto State, which is 56 percent African American.
"Am I going to continue to work on every single one of these issues?" Steyer said Saturday night. "Yes, of course I am. I've never stopped."
Steyer has a net worth of $1.6 billion, according to AP. In 2019, he launched a series of ads called "Need to Impeach," which led many Democrats to believe Steyer could be the right person who could potentially challenge President Donald Trump in the 2020 General Election.
