One day after dropping out of the Democratic presidential race, Pete Buttigieg endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden for president. Buttigieg appeared with Biden at a Dallas rally on Monday night and told the crowd he was looking for a “leader” who would “draw out what’s best in each of us.” “We have found that leader in vice president, soon-to-be president, Joe Biden,” he said, according to the Associated Press. On Sunday, the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor said he would “do everything” in his power to “ensure that we have a new Democratic president come January” while announcing the suspension of his campaign. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), who dropped out of the race Monday, also endorsed Biden’s 2020 White House bid.
