Buttigieg drops out of presidential race

Buttigieg drops out of presidential race-politico: Pete Buttigieg dropped out of the 2020 presidential race Sunday night after a roller-coaster campaign that saw him rise from total obscurity to Iowa victor, only to stall out as the Democratic primary race turned to more diverse states. The 38-year-old former South Bend, Ind., mayor’s exit comes two days before Super Tuesday, opening up a wider path for former Vice President Joe Biden to become the moderate alternative to Bernie Sanders.
