In advance of Super Tuesday, multiple Democratic presidential hopefuls announced that they were suspending their campaigns.

This included Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer.

Klobuchar and Buttigieg, as well as former Democratic candidate Beto O’Rourke, all recently endorsed Biden during a rally in Dallas, Texas, on Monday.

“He can bring our country together and build that coalition of our fired-up Democratic base, and it is fired up, as well as Independents and moderate Republicans, because we do not in our party want to just eek by a victory. We want to win big and Joe Biden can do that,” said Klobuchar, UPI reported.
