Elizabeth Warren is dropping out of the 2020 presidential race after a disappointing Super Tuesday performance — a move that could boost Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign by making him the lone progressive standard-bearer in the Democratic field.
The decision, first reported by The New York Times, essentially leaves the race as a one-on-one battle between Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden, who is surging after claiming a stunning 10 victories on Super Tuesday. She was holding a late-morning all-staff call to tell members of her campaign about her decision.
Warren’s move comes after a disappointing performance on the biggest day of primary voting. Moderate candidates Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar dropped out in the days before, boosting Biden to a delegate lead and essentially co-frontrunner status with Sanders. Billionaire Mike Bloomberg, another moderate, dropped out of the race on Wednesday and endorsed Biden.
Pressure from the left swiftly grew on Warren to drop out, in order to help Sanders consolidate progressive support.
The Warren campaign shared a message with supporters on Wednesday that indicated she might be considering leaving the race.

I had Reservations about her. …
Well she was always the low one on the totem pole
Poor Indian ????????????????
Let’s all pass around the peace pipe and have a smoke in memory of her campaign.
What a waste of selfies
who put a sad emoji LMAO
She can move into aunt b’s basement
Yeah, I guess she will be going back to the Reservation for some much needed rest and contemplation before returning to work.
This is bad. Not that I would vote for her but it throws her prospective voters to either of the other 2 clowns.
She was annoying. ????
She needs teepee for her tears
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Shocker! Nope lol ????
I think the bigger news is that she was even in the race in the first place.
If old man Bernie makes it to the election against Trump, Bernie will lose to Trump. I can’t see him beating Trump. I’m hoping sleepy Joe doesn’t make it to the election! This is going to be intense now!
Awwwwwwwww
Buh-bye!
Maybe she could change her clothes now two different outfit
I’m sorry to see this, but I did expect it.
I’m surprised she lasted this long.
1/64 chance she would have won anyway
I guess ol’ Liz didn’t have enough wampum to stay in the race.
America dissed its Mother-in-law
we still need to find those Weapons of mass destruction
Yesss, haha
Buh bye Liarwatha. Happy trails to you!!
