Amy Klobuchar Drops out of Democratic Presidential Race

Minnesota Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar has announced that she is ending her Democratic presidential campaign and will support Joe Biden as part of an apparent effort by lower-performing candidates to derail Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’ March to the nomination. Klobuchar plans to support Biden on Monday in Texas, as one of the 14 states voting on Super Tuesday.

Klobuchar’s withdrawal comes a day before the Super Tuesday contests and follows former South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s exit from the race. It’s unclear whether Buttigieg will support Biden too.
