Burbank said in a phone interview last week that she would consider ending her campaign and backing Osborn if she does not have a clear path to victory. But she denied that she entered the Democratic primary with the intent to drop out.

“I will drop out when and if the time comes that I cannot win in November. And I think anybody with any dignity should do that,” she said, saying that she would evaluate her prospects based on polling and that she aims to decide in time to remove her name from the November ballot.

I've seen headlines stating "will drop out" and "may drop out" but not many that that reflect her complete statement.
