Newspaper publisher Tim Giago a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, has dropped his U.S. Senate bid and is endorsing former rival Sen. Tom Daschle (D-S.D.).

Giago first entered the race as a Democrat then said he would run as an independent. But after meeting with Daschle to discuss various Indian issues, he decided to end his campaign.

Giago founded Indian Country Today and sold it to the Oneida Nation of New York. He currently publishes Lakota Journal in South Dakota and Pueblo Journal in New Mexico.
