In time for Super Tuesday, which will probably help Biden:
Democrat Pete Buttigieg is informing campaign staff that he is dropping out of the White House race, three people with knowledge of the decision tell AP. His campaign says Buttigieg will speak Sunday night in South Bend, Indiana. https://t.co/i3gNtUlDTy

Thank you @PeteButtigieg for your brilliance, your courage, your class, your husband @Chas10Buttigieg, your midwestern sensibilities, your grace. So glad that we have not seen the last of you.

We were SO PROUD to stand with @PeteButtigieg @PeteForAmerica, as he ran a dignified, uplifting campaign.

His quick rise showed how much a progressive veteran can reach out to, and inspire, new voters. Vets like Pete are a crucial part of Dems' future.
Thank you, Pete! pic.twitter.com/n4XpzeY2Ov
His quick rise demonstrated how easily a young white man can enter national politics and be head-to-head with far more experienced and knowledgeable women in a nano-second.
Buttigieg’s meteoric rise goes far deeper then just being a gay, white, male.
He had lots of very, very wealthy donors backing him.
The question is why?
