DETROIT - Pete Buttigieg, who entered the Democratic presidential race as a relative unknown and positioned himself as the future of the party during an improbable rise to the top tier of a crowded field, ended his White House bid on Sunday.
The centrist Democrat’s withdrawal from the race could help former Vice President Joe Biden, a fellow moderate who got a much-needed victory on Saturday and now is looking to wrest momentum from liberal front-runner Bernie Sanders in this week’s 14-state Super Tuesday nominating contests. Buttigieg had sought to unite Democrats, independents and moderate Republican voters, arguing his status as a Washington outsider could rebuild a majority to defeat Republican President Donald Trump in November’s election.
Buttigieg, often referred to simply as “Mayor Pete,” promised a departure from the politics of the past. As a “proud son” of Indiana, he argued he could speak directly to voters struggling economically in crucial swing states such as Michigan and Wisconsin that handed Trump the presidency in 2016.

Pete Buttigieg to drop out of the Democratic presidential campaignPete Buttigieg has dropped out of the Democratic presidential race, ending the improbable and historic campaign of the former mayor of South Bend, Ind. Good. Guy is a fraud Like he had a chance 🤣 He narrowly won the Iowa caucuses and finished a close second in the New Hampshire primary. But poor showings in the next two contests, in Nevada Feb. 22 and on Saturday in South Carolina, suggested there was no plausible route to the nomination.

Pete Buttigieg Drops Out of Presidential RaceMayor Pete has called it quits after failing to win over Democratic voters in Nevada and South Carolina. ❤️❤️ Thank you, Mayor Pete. I may not have voted for you, but you were still inspiring to me. A dose of realism from Mayor Pete. He was vastly underqualified and being used as a totem (“Look, he’s a vet! Look, he went to Oxford! Look, he’s gay!). The inevitable product of the Democrats’ immersion in identity politics, but face it: he’d run a town. Running out of money is nothing to be heavy hearted about. Looks like a Biden-Bloomberg ticket.
