Pete Buttigieg Drops out of Democratic Presidential Race

Former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg announces he is ending his presidential bid.

The former mayor became the first gay candidate to earn presidential primary delegates for a major party’s nomination. Following the Nevada and South Carolina primary races, he finished significantly behind the race’s frontrunners. The mayor’s lack of momentum heading into Super Tuesday sunk the upstart campaign.

This lead to the former mayor to bow out of the race.
