‘I cannot spend more public money on futile hope’

Jim Walden has suspended his campaign for New York City mayor, his camp announced Tuesday.

“For months I have been steadfast in my view that, unless there is a one-on-one race in November, a Trojan Horse will take control of City Hall. I cannot spend more public money in the futile hope I am the one called to battle,” the beyond-long-shot independent tweeted.

A rep for the former federal prosecutor’s campaign did not immediately respond to an inquiry from The Post, but a  source close to the situation blamed the suspension on “personal problems.

“There’s been a lot of internal bulls–t in this campaign to start,” the source said  after the announcement, noting turmoil in his personal life.

The married candidate will  pay staffers through the end of the week, according to a campaign source.
