Former South Bend, Indiana mayor Pete Buttigieg has dropped out of the 2020 presidential race — telling supporters Sunday night that the path to victory “has narrowed to a close.”
“We were never supposed to get anywhere at all,” Buttigieg, 38, said while announcing his decision in South Bend.
“Today is a moment of truth … the truth is the path has narrowed to a close.
“So tonight I’m making the difficult decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency,” he said.
Buttigieg’s surprise move followed his dismal performance Saturday in the South Carolina primary, where he came in a distant fourth place among Democrats with around 8 percent of the vote. (Text courtesy NYPost)
