Description Rick Perry is calling it quits on his 2016 White House bid.

The former Texas governor told the Eagle Forum in St. Louis, Missouri Friday afternoon that he is suspending his presidential campaign, making him the first 2016 presidential candidate to do so.

“We have a tremendous field –- the best in a generation -– so I step aside knowing our party is in good hands, and as long as we listen to the grassroots, the cause of conservatism will be too,” he said, adding that he has "no regrets" about his run.

"That is why today I am suspending my campaign for the presidency of the United States."
