Former Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan is ending his bid for governor, he announced Thursday, May 21. Duggan’s departure from the race is another signal that independent candidates face challenging if not near-impossible paths to winning statewide elections. 

Duggan cited internal polling and "networks of national party money" in an announcement to supporters sent Thursday morning.
