Amy Klobuchar ends bid for U.S. 2020 Democratic presidential nomination
- Amy Klobuchar, a U.S. senator from Minnesota whose wit and straightforward Midwestern style won key endorsements and bolstered her long-shot campaign, is ending her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination and endorsing fellow moderate Joe Biden, her campaign said on Monday.
“The Klobuchar campaign confirms the Senator is flying to Dallas to join Vice President Biden at his rally tonight where she will suspend her campaign and endorse the Vice President,” and aide said in a text message sent to Reuters. The three-term senator and former prosecutor positioned herself as a pragmatist who could work with conservatives and Republicans while moving forward on Democratic priorities. She distinguished herself with strong debate performances and built a campaign that was taken seriously enough to win endorsements from the New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle and other major news outlets.
On the campaign trail she told family stories about her father’s struggle with alcoholism and her grandfather saving money in a coffee can. Klobuchar earned support from Republicans dissatisfied with Trump and white working-class voters whom the Democrats will need to beat him, said Mike Madrid, a California Republican political consultant and co-founder of the anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project.
