Pete Buttigieg is ending his presidential bid after a fourth-place finish in South Carolina on Saturday, ending a meteoric rise that saw the once-obscure former mayor of South Bend, Ind., become a top-tier contender in the race for the Democratic nomination, reports The Washington Post.
Buttigieg, who became the first gay candidate to make a high-profile presidential run, is expected to make the official announcement later tonight in South Bend.
