Pete Buttigieg is out. Which candidates will his supporters flow to?

Link to tweet

Pete Buttigieg was a truly transformational candidate as our first openly gay candidate for President.

His successes were groundbreaking and he deserves our respect and gratitude.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

So I would guess most of his supporters are not Bernie fans.

I know the old Morning Consult poll said that 21% of them would go to Bernie. But that's not really likely in the end.

Mayor Pete! I hope and expect we won't see the last of you!

You inspired me at points along the way...so much I even dropped a ten-spot.

Thanks for playing!!

Who voters are considering

Even though voters can have only one first-choice option, many consider multiple candidates at the same time. Candidates with higher percentages of possible supporters may emerge as breakout stars later in the cycle.
