Pete Buttigieg endorses Joe Biden for president

3 March 2020, 3:07 am Edit

WASHINGTON — Democrat Pete Buttigieg endorses Joe Biden for US president, providing a major boost to the former vice president’s White House hopes just one day after the former Indiana mayor himself dropped out of the race.

“I’m looking for a president who will draw out what is best in each of us, and I’m encouraging everybody who was part of my campaign to join me because we have found that leader in vice president, soon-to-be-president, Joe Biden,” Buttigieg says in Dallas, with Biden standing nearby.

The two centrists are former rivals in the Democratic nomination battle who are now united in their desire for a moderate candidate to beat leftist Senator Bernie Sanders, the current frontrunner in the race to face President Donald Trump in November.
