Facing a host of Super Tuesday primaries where minority voters are a big factor, Buttigieg apparently decided he didn’t want to go out by demonstrating his narrow band of support across four times zones
Photo: Win McNamee/Getty Images In a surprise, former South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg has let it be known he’s quitting the presidential race — undoubtedly a welcome development for those hoping for a consolidation of moderate Democratic voter before Super Tuesday. The announcement came on the heels of a dismal fourth-place finish in South Carolina, following a disappointing third-place finish in Nevada.

He spent a lot of time and money in South Carolina, where the majority-black primary electorate represented a particularly tough challenge.
With a host of Super Tuesday primaries on tap where minority voters were a big factor — and where many delegate-bearing congressional districts were majority-minority — Buttigieg and his campaign apparently decided he didn’t want to go out by demonstrating his narrow band of support across four times zones. And having blown through much of a 2019 fundraising haul of $76 million, Buttigieg didn’t have the dough left to keep beating his head against the wall of demographic realities.
