Breaking: Pete Buttigieg drops out of the Democratic presidential race ahead of Super Tuesday

for his handling of the city’s police department.

Shortly after arriving in office in 2012, Buttigieg fired the city’s black police chief, who was accused of improperly recording police colleagues who were allegedly making racist remarks. The number of black officers in the department dwindled dramatically during Buttigieg’s tenure. Those tensions exploded into the open in dramatic fashion during Buttigieg’s campaign in June 2019, when a white officer shot a black man who the officer said threatened him with a knife. But the officer’s body camera had not been turned on, leaving the incident shrouded in uncertainty.who sat somberly on stage and who acknowledged that his efforts to address residents’ concerns about policing “clearly haven’t been enough.

“You might as well just withdraw your name from the presidential race,” said a woman at the raucous June meeting. “His presidential campaign is over. ... I believe that today ended his campaign.”

Amy and Liz need to drop out next. This primary is between the old fellers, Bernie and biden

Great, it's going to be a choice between a socialist, a creepy old politician or a narcissistic, compulsive lying, bullying, racist to be our President!

Little Pete wasn't the PITCHER he thought he was....shouldnt plagerize

Opens a window for TulsiGabbard

I still love you!!!💗

Pete is the biggest winner of the Democratic primary. Entered as a no-name, mid-west, gay, small-town mayor and now walking away as a national figure. Wait a decade. Raise some money. Allow African-Americans better accept the gay community. Come back and win the Presidency.

Word is Pete is 'packing it in'.

The Democratic presidential campaigns are now all of old, rich, straight, white men 😂😅🤣

Laura78703 It's a shame, he's a good man. But it's not yet his time.

What do you suppose he received in return for this concession?

1 down 3 to go!!! BernieSanders amyklobuchar ewarren

Pete who?

ShaneClaiborne Without wanting to pinkwash Pete's campaign, I do think it was historic - not just the first openly gay POTUS candidate, but one of the youngest ever.

Mayor Pete knows he has no plausible road to be the nominee but Tulsi Gabbard is still in the race? 🤔🤔🤔

Joe is next, after Super Tuesday when he falls flat on his face.

This makes me sad. He is a great and intelligent man.

He wasn't gonna win anyway. At least he made it this far

Only chance he might have had, if he got divorced.

If the Democrats aren’t supporting a gay person for President then gays should stop supporting democrats.

Butt’s votes go to Joe. Winning.

doctor_eon Prayers for Pete by KENNYBOO93 are evergreen

Sorry to see you drop out I am hoping you will encourage your supporters to vote for the democratic nominee.

Guess he'll have to pay his own way into the wine cave now. Klobuchar needs to quit also, along with Warren. Both seem to be clinging to winning their home state vs Sanders on Super Tuesday, but those races are close and a tight win in your home state is as bad as a loss.

Thank the Lord !

Good riddance, buttboy

byeButtigieg

A strong drop out

Finally!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Good. Next needs to be klobuchar.

IM SO HAPPY THIS IS THE BEST THING PETES EVER DONE

butterfly0277

Who

please endorse Joe, last time to get 'Joe-mentum'

More time for the wine cave

Wow

Klobuchar is next, then Warren.

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.

Honorable move for the greater cause. Salute.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Good. Guy is a fraud
