Soon after midnight on Sunday morning, Pete Buttigieg convened his senior advisers on a conference call. Sitting in a car after flying to Georgia from his last rally in Raleigh, N.C., Buttigieg told them the campaign was over.
Following breakfast with former President Jimmy Carter in Plains, Ga., Buttigieg conceded to reporters Sunday morning that Biden’s victory in South Carolina was “convincing,” and 12 hours after that, Buttigieg had rerouted his campaign plane to South Bend, where he told supporters his path “has narrowed to a close.”
Meanwhile, Buttigieg’s exit delivers “the first break in the logjam in the center of the party,” said Ace Smith, a California-based strategist who worked on Kamala Harris’ presidential bid. “That, plus Steyer getting out, benefits Biden tremendously.” He was just two years clear of the constitutional age limit to become president. But Buttigieg burst out of obscurity on the strength of his charisma and sharp, viral answers to media questions in the opening months of the campaign.
All the people shouting at his press conference and tweeting Pete2024 are assuming that either realDonaldTrump will win in 2020, or that Pete Buttigieg will challenge the incumbent Democrat in 2024 🤔 KAG 4MoreYears
MarcACaputo santidavid... So the sole beneficiary of the chaos in IA was bernie.. so what if I indulge myself on the same conspiracy theories you push.& say that It was the RNC in cahoots with the Sanders camp who clogged reporting phone lines once they realize they lost the state?
You fail to mention that no one ever heard of Buttigieg until he first appeared on Special Report with BretBaier Do your job as “journalists.”
PeteForAmerica Pete Buttigieg’s race for the presidency took our country one more step toward equality, acceptance and kindness. He’s smart, hard working and seems like a good man. Please thank him for millions of Americans.
Political article is a joke, nothing moderate about Buttigieg. He is just a nutty as Sanders.
Because when the people don't pay the bills, your benefactors decide when you quit. Hoping all the folks who were attracted to his initial message of progressive change find their way to NotMeUs
Got to consolidate the moderate vote
The best thing PeteButtigieg could do for his future is to embrace a progressive agenda.
If the decision was made Sun morn after midnight, why was he on the morning shows touting his team had done the math and that’s why he remained in the race? Why is the plane re-routed mid-flight Sun evening? Why even depart for TX if decision had been made the night before?
They just flicked the OFF switch on his back.
He’s trash 😉
Proud of you PeteButtigieg
Warren is the solution to his warnings about Sanders' divisiveness.
I feel more sorry for ColinJost not being in any more cold openings now

Bernie Sanders is top second choice candidate for Pete Buttigieg voters: pollTwenty-one percent of former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg's first-choice supporters said their second pick would be Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. I hope bernie wins and we can finally bankrupt the federal government. Nope, not what I heard. I was a Pete voter and voted Biden. Most voters don’t vote based on ideologies but those out of touch DC pundits on CNN and MSNBC would like you to believe otherwise. This is also why they got the Trump phenomenon wrong in 2016. Sanders lost a lot of rural voters to Buttigieg and he’s likely to get them back.
