Here is video of Gov. Jon Huntsman this morning announcing the end of his Presidential Campaign.

Surrounded by his family, Huntsman denounced the current “toxic” political environment of U.S. politics. Huntsman said the Presidential race has “degenerated into an onslaught of negative and personal attacks not worthy of the American people, and not worthy of this critical time.”

Huntsman called on Republicans to “unite around the candidate best equipped” to defeat Barack Obama, which he said is “Gov. Mitt Romney.”
