OpinionIt's Bloomberg's turn to drop out and back Biden
by Tiana Lowe
March 02, 2020 04:02 PM With just one day to go until Super Tuesday, the Democratic Party has proven it refuses to follow the Republicans' mistakes of 2016, by coalescing around a newly ascendant Joe Biden rather than allowing Bernie Sanders to take over the party. One major candidate, though, hasn't yet gotten the message.
Despite placing third in the primary's national delegate count, Pete Buttigieg acknowledged that he had no realistic path to the nomination and dropped out, followed by Amy Klobuchar, the fifth-place candidate. Now, the party isn't just standing down for Biden: It's backing him, with both Klobuchar and Buttigieg reportedly endorsing the South Carolina victor just in time to save him on Super Tuesday. And it's not just 2020 hopefuls finally acknowledging that Biden is the only candidate capable of beating Sanders. Everyone from U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois and former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to actress Alyssa Milano has rallied around Biden at the eleventh hour.
Every non-hard-leftist, that is, except for one who expressly entered this race to stop Sanders.
