Elizabeth and I are so grateful for all the hard work of everyone on this team — not only leading up to Super Tuesday, but in all the weeks and months before.
To every volunteer, donor, and supporter: Thank you for everything you’ve done.
Last night, we fell well short of our viability goals and projections, and we are disappointed in the results. We’re still waiting for more results to come in to get a better sense of the final delegate math. And we also all know the race has been extremely volatile in recent weeks and days with frontrunners changing at a pretty rapid pace.
But we are obviously disappointed, and Elizabeth is talking with our team to assess the path forward.
All of us have worked for Elizabeth long enough to know that she isn’t a lifetime politician and doesn’t think like one. She’s going to take time right now to think through the right way to continue this fight. There’s a lot at stake for this country and the millions of people who are falling further and further behind.
This decision is in her hands, and it’s important that she has the time and space to consider what comes next.
Elizabeth believes in her ideas and in the big, structural change that is badly needed to root out corruption in Washington and will decide what she thinks is the best way to advance them.
We’ll have more soon.

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

Lots of factors, of course, not the least of which is dealing with inequality still inherent in media coverage. I'm not sure how we fix that. Personally, I think she's a better candidate than Sanders in every way, and while I've never bought into the argument that they're exclusively sharing an audience, I don't get why anyone would pick him over her.

On a related note, the pressure she's getting from Sanders supporters to drop out is disturbing. She's earned the right to make decisions when and how she wants.



On a side note, the @ symbol in medium.com links breaks DU's hyperlink function, but if you remove the @ before you post, it'll work correctly.
