President Trump speculated that 2020 Democratic dropouts Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar might be angling for political appointments under a potential Joe Biden administration.
While departing the White House for North Carolina on Monday, Trump told reporters that the Democratic nominating contest is “rigged against Bernie [Sanders], there's no question about it.â€
“That’s called a quid pro quo, right?†he added after referencing Klobuchar and Buttigieg, in an apparent jab at those who accused him during his impeachment of withholding military aid to Ukraine in exchange for politically expedient investigations.
On Monday, the eve of Super Tuesday, Klobuchar ended her presidential bid, joining Buttigieg, who exited the race on Sunday. The two centrists are expected to endorse Biden in an apparent attempt to solidify his support and keep the nomination from Sanders, a self-avowed socialist who is leading in the polls.
