'MAYOR PETE' BUTTIGIEG ENDS IMPROBABLE U.S. PRESIDENTIAL BID

DETROIT (Reuters) - Pete Buttigieg, who entered the Democratic

presidential race as a relative unknown and positioned himself as the

future of the party during an improbable rise to the top tier of a

crowded field, ended his White House bid on Sunday.

Buttigieg, 38, a former two-term mayor of South Bend, Indiana, an

Afghanistan war veteran and the first openly gay candidate to make a

competitive run for the U.S. presidency, narrowly won the Iowa

caucuses that kicked off the nominating race in February and finished

a close second in New Hampshire.

But his early momentum from those rural, mostly white states did not

translate into electoral success in the more diverse states of Nevada

and South Carolina.

After finishing a distant third in the Nevada caucuses, Buttigieg came

in fourth on Saturday in South Carolina, where he won support from

just 3% of African-American voters.

The centrist Democrat’s withdrawal from the race could help former

Vice President Joe Biden, a fellow moderate who got a much-needed

victory on Saturday and now is looking to wrest momentum from liberal

front-runner Bernie Sanders in this week’s 14-state Super Tuesday

nominating contests.

Speaking in South Bend, Buttigieg said his campaign began its

“unlikely journey” with a staff of four, no big email lists and no

personal fortune.

“We got into this race in order to defeat the current president and

in order to usher in a new kind of politics,” Buttigieg told a crowd

of supporters. Now, he said, it was time to “step aside and help

bring our party and our country together.”

In a tweet, Biden said Buttigieg had run a “trail-blazing campaign

based on courage, compassion, and honesty,” adding: “This is just

the beginning of his time on the national stage.”

Buttigieg had sought to unite Democrats, independents and moderate

Republican voters, arguing his status as a Washington outsider could

rebuild a majority to defeat Republican President Donald Trump in

November’s election.

But he faced persistent questions about his ability to win over black

voters, a core Democratic voting bloc.

Buttigieg’s tenure as South Bend mayor, which ended on Jan. 1, drew

scrutiny for a lack of diversity on the local police force and a fatal

shooting of a black resident by a police officer. He also lacked

Biden’s national profile or long-standing relationships with the

black community.

HISTORIC CAMPAIGN

Buttigieg would have been the first openly gay major-party

presidential nominee in U.S. history. He did not make his sexuality a

centerpiece of his candidacy, although his husband, Chasten Buttigieg,

a teacher he married in 2018, regularly accompanied him on the

campaign trail.

Buttigieg, often referred to simply as “Mayor Pete,” promised a

departure from the politics of the past. As a “proud son” of

Indiana, he argued he could speak directly to voters struggling

economically in crucial swing states such as Michigan and Wisconsin

that handed Trump the presidency in 2016.

A U.S. Navy veteran who often spoke of his military service and

Christian faith, Buttigieg was critical of Sanders’ uncompromising

liberal proposals, which Buttigieg warned could alienate moderate

Democratic voters ahead of “the fight of our lives” to unseat

Trump.

At the televised debate ahead of the South Carolina primary, Buttigieg

said Sanders’ shifting estimates to fund proposals such as a

government-run healthcare system for all would doom the Democratic

Party in November.

“I can tell you exactly how it all adds up. It adds up to four more

years of Donald Trump,” Buttigieg said.

Buttigieg had considerable early success in fundraising, proving

popular with the Hollywood and big-tech money scenes. He came under

fire from Democratic competitors, including Senator Elizabeth Warren,

who questioned whether he was beholden to his big-money donors and

criticized his ritzy, closed-door fundraiser in a wine cave in

California.

His campaign, however, faced tighter purse strings after heavy

investments in the first two voting states and raised only $6 million

in January. Sanders, by comparison, raised $25 million the same month.

Before Biden’s South Carolina win, Buttigieg had argued he was the

only candidate who had proven he could beat Sanders in state contests.

His campaign had laid out a strategy to get through Super Tuesday

contests and focus on later primaries where it believed it had an

edge.

That changed as the race remained outsized and questions mounted about

possibly non-viable contenders splitting moderate votes to give

Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, an easy path to the

nomination. A campaign aide told Reuters that Buttigieg was not going

to be a “spoiler” who helped Sanders win.

Still, his decision to drop out before Super Tuesday caught some

supporters by surprise. Buttigieg spent the day in Selma, Alabama,

commemorating a landmark civil rights march in 1965. A big crowd had

gathered later on Sunday for the candidate’s scheduled event in

Dallas when they learned he was no longer coming.
