Bloomberg pulls out of US race and endorses Biden
Former Vice President Joe Biden stopped at Buttercup restaurant in Oakland, California, today where he told reporters that his hopes are «high» in California and other Super Tuesday states.
«I think we’re gonna do well on Super Tuesday. I think we’ll qualify here and we’ll meet the threshold. And I think we’re gonna win a number of states as well,» he said.
He acknowledged that while many people in California have already voted via absentee ballot, he still believes his campaign will do «fine.»
Biden was joined at the local stop by Captain «Sully» Sullenberger, members of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s family, and the city’s Mayor Libby Schaaf, who told reporters that while she has made a decision not to endorse in the primary, she was «so proud» the former vice president decided to kick off Super Tuesday in California.
Ordering a coconut custard pie, which he paid for in cash, Biden joked, «I work out every morning so I’m okay.»
