\n
The former small-city Indiana mayor and first openly gay major presidential candidate, Pete Buttigieg, has decided to quit the Democratic race, a person briefed on Mr. Buttigieg\u2019s plans said on Sunday, following a crushing loss in the South Carolina primary where his poor performance with black Democrats signaled an inability to build a broad coalition of voters.<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Mr. Buttigieg canceled plans for a Sunday night rally in Dallas and a Monday morning fund-raiser in Austin to return to South Bend to make a speech. \u201cSo a little bit of news for you about our flight,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re making a change in our travel plans and traveling to South Bend rather than to Texas. We\u2019re going to be making an announcement there about the future of the campaign and we are looking forward to sharing with our supporters and with the country where we\u2019re going from here. That is why you will find we are heading in a different direction.\u201d<\/p>\n

An aide said Mr. Buttigieg would announce the suspension of his campaign. During a call with the campaign staff minutes earlier, a Buttigieg official said the candidate \u201cdoesn\u2019t want to move on\u201d to Super Tuesday and beyond.<\/p>\n
