Former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, fresh off ending his bid for the White House, is expected to endorse former Vice President Joe Biden in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary race, CNN and Reuters reported Monday.
Buttigieg is reportedly slated to announce the endorsement at a Biden rally in Dallas later in the day.
Also on Monday, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) announced she’s dropping out of the Democratic presidential contest, and endorsed Biden for the party’s nomination.
The timing is auspicious for Biden. Tuesday is the most important day of the Democratic primary race, with 14 states holding nominating contests to pick who should face off against the expected GOP nominee, President Donald Trump, in November. |
