After Super Tuesday, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg dropped out of the race after only winning American Samoa. He later endorsed Biden for president.

U.S. Senators Cory Booker of New Jersey and Kamala Harris of California, both of whom were former primary opponents of Biden, have also recently endorsed the former vice president.

“I’m endorsing Joe Biden for president because we need someone who reflects the decency and dignity of the American people and who fights for those whose voices are too often ignored,” stated Harris on Twitter.

U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts ended her campaign a couple days after Super Tuesday after placing third in the very state she represents in Congress.

In response to Warren dropping out, the Working Families Party, a prominent leftwing group that had endorsed her for president, changed their endorsement to Sanders.

“Sanders will fight for a Green New Deal, universal health care and a living wage for every worker. Organized capital won’t rest and neither will we,” stated Maurice Mitchell, national director of WFP, as reported by Politico.

“We said from the very beginning that there were two progressive champions in this race, and that our North Star was to elect one of them as president.”
