Sen. Elizabeth Warren suspended her presidential campaign Thursday following a crushing defeat on Super Tuesday, in which the one-time frontrunner won none of the 14 states that participated. The Massachusetts senator reassured her supporters that she was “in this fight,” on Tuesday night even after finishing in third place in her home state.
But by Thursday, Boston’s largest NPR station wrote Warren off as ”another casualty of the Biden surge,” referring to former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign-reviving victories in at least nine states on Tuesday. The Boston Herald pulled no punches either as columnist Michael Graham wrote that Warren had “no one to blame but herself” for the stinging home state loss.
Warren can at least hang her hat on winning four more delegates in the Democratic primary than billionaire and former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, raising $92 million throughout her campaign mostly from small donors. Compared to Bloomberg, who spent more than $500 million of his personal fortune to win 60 delegates, Warren’s efforts equaled approximately $1.4 million per delegate to Bloomberg’s roughly $8 million spent per delegate.
Meanwhile, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, the last woman standing in the Democratic primary, has won two delegates and raised approximately $13.7 million to date. On the other end of the political aisle and presidential election, President Donald Trump’s approval rating has relapsed from an all-time high of 49 percent, according to the latest data from Gallup. Trump’s re-election campaign fundraising, however, continues to outpace the Democratic candidates by at least $15 million.
