Just like when the U.S. Senators announce that they are not running for re-election it is considered 'retiring'.

Example here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_elections,_2014#Race_summary

Even though she will serve till the end of her term, she's still a quitter

And she is 'quitting' her election campaign that had already begun.
