Pete Buttigieg has on Sunday, March 1, ended his campaign for the president of the United States of America.
The former mayor from South Bend, Indiana made the announcement during an event.
According to him, he no longer saw a path to victory. He said as a result of this, he had a responsibility to "consider the effect of remaining in this race any longer."
He consequently declared that he made the difficult decision to suspend his campaign for the presidency, CNN reports.
However, he insists that he has a goal to help unify Americans to defeat Donald Trump.
Buttigieg is the first openly gay man to launch a competitive campaign for president. He is also the first gay candidate to earn primary delegates for a major party's presidential nomination.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that Trump reacted over Kamala Harris' decision to pull out from 2020 US presidential race.
Harris, the senator from California, ended her once-promising campaign for lacking the funds to go forward.
Legit.ng gathered that Harris, who was once considered a promising contender for the Democratic nomination in the 2020 presidential election, ended her campaign on Tuesday, December 3.
According to the report, Harris, in an email to supporters, cited a lack of funding as the main reason for ending her bid to take on US President Donald Trump in a general election.
She wrote: "I've taken stock and looked at this from every angle, and over the last few days have come to one of the hardest decisions of my life. My campaign for president simply doesn't have the financial resources we need to continue."

The 55-year-old first-term senator, who was the former attorney general in her home state, had positioned herself as a unifying candidate who could energise the party's base of young, diverse progressives while also appealing to more moderate voters.
Speaking on Harris' exit from the race, Trump said she would be missed as the presidential election comes up in 2020. He said: "Too bad. We will miss you Kamala!"
