Biden surges higher with Klobuchar, Buttigieg endorsements

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s momentum after a big victory in South Carolina surged higher on Monday as Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) dropped out of the race and endorsed him for president.
Klobuchar became the second centrist rival to Biden in less than 24 hours to end their campaign and endorse Biden after the South Carolina results.
Former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg suspended his campaign after a disappointing showing in South Carolina. Buttigieg is also endorsing Biden, according to a source close to Biden’s campaign.
All of this was stupendous news for Biden whose campaign was but left for dead after he performed poorly in Iowa and New Hampshire. He’s now emerging as the clear rival to Sen. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for the Democratic nomination.
