Warren to drop out of 2020 race, setting up one-on-one showdown between Sanders, Biden

in #warren4 years ago


Elizabeth Warren is dropping out of the 2020 presidential race after a disappointing Super Tuesday performance -- a move that could boost Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' campaign by making him the lone progressive standard-bearer in the Democratic field.

The decision, first reported by The New York Times, essentially leaves the race as a one-on-one battle between Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden, who is surging after claiming a stunning 10 victories on Super Tuesday. She was holding a late-morning all-staff call to tell members of her campaign about her decision.

Warren's move comes after a disappointing performance on the biggest day of primary voting. Moderate candidates Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar dropped out in the days before, boosting Biden to a delegate lead and essentially co-frontrunner status with Sanders. Billionaire Mike Bloomberg, another moderate, dropped out of the race on Wednesday and endorsed Biden.
