WASHINGTON - US congressman Justin Amash abandoned his third-party run for president on Saturday, blaming the impossibility of campaigning during the Covid-19 pandemic.

"After much reflection, I've concluded that circumstances don't lend themselves to my success as a candidate for president this year, and therefore I will not be a candidate," he tweeted. "I continue to believe that a candidate from outside the old parties, offering a vision of government grounded in liberty and equality, can break through in the right environment. But this environment presents extraordinary challenges," he said.As an independent in Congress, he voted to impeach Trump.
