Pete Buttigieg Quits America’s Presidential Race

Pete Buttigieg

Former Indiana Mayor, Pete Buttigieg who made an ambitious run for President, has dropped out the race for the White House.

The 38-year-old became the first gay Presidential candidate from a major party.

Despite a successful start, his campaign for the Democratic nomination lost momentum in recent weeks.

His decision to drop out comes ahead of a key day on Tuesday in the Democratic race to take on Trump.

Fourteen states will vote on Super Tuesday, by the end of which staunch left-winger Bernie Sanders may have an unbeatable lead and be a step closer to the nomination.

His departure leaves six Democrats in the race- Joe Biden, Ms Sanders, Michael Bloomberg, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Kobluchar and Tulsi Gabbard.
