Pete Buttigieg ends history-making bid for White House
Former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg announced he was ending the presidential campaign in which he set history as the first openly gay man to win delegates in the race for the nomination of a major political party.

As the mayor of a mid-size Midwestern town, he rose from relative political obscurity to become a viable candidate for the White House. . But with his victory, Buttigieg achieved what would have been considered politically impossible just a decade ago.And on the night of the caucuses, an emotional Buttigieg was clearly struck by the significance of what he had accomplished.and that it left him"remembering how it felt to be an Indiana teenager, wondering if he would ever belong in this world."
"I am proud of who I am," Buttigieg said. "I’m certainly very proud of my marriage and my husband. We don’t shy away from that. It’s also not the only thing that defines me."
