Pete “Mayo” Buttigieg has announced that he he is ending his run for President:

Pete Buttigieg, the former small-city Indiana mayor and first openly gay major presidential candidate, said Sunday night he was dropping out of the Democratic race, following a crushing loss in the South Carolina primary where his poor performance with black Democrats signaled an inability to build a broad coalition of voters.

The decision comes just 48 hours before the biggest voting day of the primary, Super Tuesday, when 15 states and territories will allot about one-third of the delegates over all. The results were widely expected to show him far behind Joseph R. Biden Jr. and Senator Bernie Sanders.

Buttigieg’s problem is that he could never make inroads with minority voters, because they (IMHO correctly) saw that his record as mayor was profoundly racist, and you cannot win the Democratic Primary without black and Latino support.
