Pete Buttigieg quits Democratic presidential race
NBC ^ | March 1, 2020 | Tim Stelloh, Vaughn Hillyard, Sahil Kapur and Mike Memoli

Pete Buttigieg is dropping out of the Democratic presidential race, two aides confirmed to NBC News on Sunday, ending a campaign that enjoyed a meteoric rise and outshone more experienced competitors but ultimately fell short after being dogged by a lack of minority support.

The former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, was supposed to travel to Texas but will instead return to Indiana, where he planned to make an announcement later Sunday night.

It isn't clear who Buttigieg's supporters will now back or whether he will endorse one of the remaining candidates.

Representatives of both the Buttigieg and Biden campaigns have been in discussions about potentially consolidating support around the former vice president, a source with knowledge told NBC News.

A Biden campaign official separately said Buttigieg and Biden tried to connect this afternoon and traded voice mail messages.

Great. It was damaging for the culture to have this pervert taken seriously.

Pete’s husband begged him to pull out, and when he did, she dropped to her knees to thank him.

The headlines will read tomorrow as “Peter’s Out” or “Buttigieg Peter’s Out of Race”.

How about “Buttigieg is out of the race; So. Bend fears his return”.

” He’s dead Jim.”

As to being back, I doubt it. By then his “Mrs.” will be dressing in drag publicly. No way that will wash.

He may be, but I’m not sure he’ll get it. The D’s need minority votes and minority votes are turned off by Pete as shown in the results. They may not take the risk with him this year.

Biden gets the minority vote, and they want a gay president at some point
