Despite winning the most delegates in the Iowa caucus and finishing second in New Hampshire, Pete Buttigieg suspended his presidential campaign on Sunday night. The South Bend mayor's abrupt departure is a shock before Super Tuesday, meaning the odds have shifted for the nomination.
Bernie Sanders remains the frontrunner heading into this week's slate of primaries, but Buttigieg's exit from the race means renewed energy for former vice president Joe Biden's campaign. After participating in two debates, Michael Bloomberg will be on the ballot for the first time when 14 states cast their votes this week.
