The results of the Iowa caucuses lead to the end of Michele Bachmann’s presidential campaign. The BBC reported that six Republicans are still in the running after the Minnesota congresswoman’s exit.

Less than one percent separated Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum, with the former coming out as the winner. Only eight votes separated the two men.

Bachmann, who came in sixth with only five percent, said she had no regrets.Instead of endorsing another candidate, she talked about her reasons for entering the race. She also said that Obama’s healthcare reform is “left-wing social engineering” that “endangered the very future” of the United States. 

Apart from getting Iowa’s vote, Mitt Romney also received the backing of Senator John McCain. McCain said the businessman’s private sector experience will help turn the economy around.

All fifty states will hold caucuses and primary elections over the next six months to determine the Republican presidential nominee. The result will be confirmed at the party convention in Florida this August.
