Sen. Amy Klobuchar Drops Out Ahead Of Super Tuesday

In a statement to NPR, Sen. Amy Klobuchar says she will end her campaign for president and will endorse Joe Biden. This comes just ahead of Super Tuesday contest, where about a third of the delegates in the 2020 Democratic presidential race are up for grabs.

The field narrowed on Saturday after Joe Biden’s commanding victory in South Carolina, with both Tom Steyer and Pete Buttigieg quitting ahead of Klobuchar’s statement on Monday.

NPR’s Domenico Montanaro (@DomenicoNPR) talks to Tonya Mosley about what these shakeups could mean for the Super Tuesday contest.
