Sen. Elizabeth Warren suspended her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday, two days after she failed to win a single state primary, including her home state of Massachusetts. 

Warren made the announcement in a conference call with staff and supporters, saying:  “I know that when we set out, this was not what you ever wanted to hear. It is not the call I ever wanted to make. But I refuse to let disappointment blind me — or you — to what we’ve accomplished. This campaign became something special, and it wasn’t because of me. It was because of you. I am so proud of how you all fought this fight alongside me: You fought it with empathy and kindness and generosity — and of course, with enormous passion and grit.”

Warren consistently placed third and fourth on Super Tuesday and said the following day she would assess the future of her campaign. Michael Bloomberg, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg and entrepreneur Tom Steyer left the race in the days leading up to Super Tuesday, each endorsing Joe Biden.
