| Description | Developer Chris Thieneman said this morning that he is dropping out of the 3rd District Congressional race, is becoming a Democrat and is endorsing Democratic Rep. John Yarmuth's reelection.
It capped a tumultuous week for Thieneman, in which he first abandoned a plan to run for the Louisville Metro Council, filed for another office, took on his own party's leaders and then walked away from it all.
The move comes as Thieneman said on WHAS Radio this morning that he has been pressured by people associated with U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell and former U.S. Rep. Anne Northup to abandon his bid.
