March 1, 2020, 11:31 PMAs his bus tour continues across Iowa, Mayor Pete Buttigieg is interviewed on"This Week."will suspend his 2020 presidential campaign, according to sources.
Buttigieg, who was once a long-shot in a crowded field of candidates, became a household name during the Democratic primary and would eventually go one to fare well in the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary before his momentum was slowed during contests in the more diverse states of Nevada and South Carolina.
He’d begin his town halls asking voters to visualize the day the sun comes up over America and Trump was no longer president. Buttigieg, as the first major openly gay candidate to mount a significant run for president, campaigned alongside his husband, Chasten, who developed his own fan base along the way. In one of Buttigeig’s most powerful moments, he also became the first person from the LGBTQ community to talk openly on a presidential debate stage about his coming out.
😐
Had no intentions of voting for him.... but.... WHAT? He just had an interview this am and showed no inkling of dropping out..... 🤔

Nooo he was on my top 3.
Why does everyone suspend their campaign instead of terminating it?
People may be surprised when they find out not all of Buttigieg's supporters will automatically go to Biden.
Good
Sad news. Such a promising candidate with a rare combination of towering intellect and down to earth approachability. Could have been a unifier but looks like our electorate is instead chomping at the bit for more polarizing politics and a war of ideology.
HopeSprings10 I am sure it is painful for so many. But he is actually doing the right thing for the party to not be so fractured
Cabinet member
Sad but he definitely made the right choice for America instead of hanging onto votes that he knows can help another person win I hope to see him in something else that I can vote for him
To bad, he was the best of the Moron Dems I thought
He didn't shot in hell. No one wanted another gay couple in the white house
I hope, and I think, that within the next decade or two black people will stop being such homophobes.
Good luck PeteButtigieg You’re young and still have more in you. Maybe another year. Or. Maybe Senate run?🤔
👍🏼

ThankYouMayorPete
I really like Pete. We haven't heard the last of this great man.
As a Christian he should not question the faith of others b/c their political views differ from his. Given chance to walk it back & better explain his comments, he refused. I’m a Christian who disagrees with him, but I don’t question his relationship with Christ. Smug indeed
Hey JoeBiden there’s room for PeteButtigieg in your administration.
Hahaha.....he also ran: AWAY!!!! And his butt knew it all along🤠🤣🤠🤣
Proving once again he duped his supporters.. shame. Watch him try to further dupe his supporters with a Biden recommendation
Sorry to hear this - he was my vote! Smart guy!!

Sorry to see him go. it's just not his time for President but he certainly can fit in a number of places
Well done Sir PeteButtigieg America will see you again POTUS ♥️🇺🇸♥️
Damnit who else is going to buy the child sized suits and business attire?!?!
Wonder what was about to come out about him...
But will the main stream media talk about why black TheDemocrats voters refused to support PeteButtigieg a gay, white man? Could it be anti-gay stance that TomPerez DNC refuses to bring up? washingtonpost nytimes USATODAY MSNBC TheAdvocateMag

Love you Mayor Pete!!
Did Jimmy Carter suggest to Mayor Pete to drop out?
He's siding with the Oligarchs!
Creepy af
DeRay_Shawn A week is a long time in politics.
So sorry to hear this.
MORE: The decision will bring to a close an historic bid by the first openly gay man to seek the presidency.
Oh what a shame, Pete the Cheat is calling it quits. Adios!!
Give Bernie his chance that was so unceremoniously denied to him last time ... and if Trump is wins - so be it . The democrats then need the magic of another Obama ..
Pressure has been built up on Buttigieg to quit ever since Sanders won New Hampshire. Pelosi and Schumer gave Buttigieg the ultimatum - quit or else.
😒
😟
47 2024 2028❤️. PeteButtigieg
Who would you Vote for POTUS?
That is very sad news
Thank you for everything PeteButtigieg! You are amazing!
Was going to vote for him in PA primary. Now I got to rethink my options. I really liked Mayor Pete and hope he runs again or gets the VP nod. We really need a statesmen, a veteran, and/or a leader in the White House and would have gotten all of that with Mayor Pete.

MzAdrianaHess oh
Good we didn't need agay guy in the White House. Just my opinion.
Not anymore 😂😂😂😂. Imagine this 🤡won Iowa, and your gone.
Pete goes back to butts Gray Joe goes more and more nuts As Bernie erupts Haiku2020
I'm very happy that he dropped out. 😁
Au Revoir PeteButtigieg Not your year to become a legend...
he has 26 delegates contrasted with Elizabeth Warren having only 8 and Amy Klobuchar having 7. Maybe they should dropout.
Hopefully we will be seeing him run for senate
Is he looking for more speeches to plagiarize and perfect for his next gig attempt?
So long, Alfred 😂😂

Bye bye u wont be missed
Again the USA will have nothing but HUGE corruptions wealthy to vote for. Its time for 1776 folks.
Well done Pete. Hold your head high. You ran a great campaign and have a bright future.
Thank you PeteButtigieg for running such a historical and energetic campaign. The Joe Biden supporters have been awfully rude and expecting us to throw our support behind him them now but I will be throwing my support for Bernie since he’s been the most consistent after you
