Amy Klobuchar and Beto O’Rourke Endorse Joe Biden for the U.S. Democratic Nomination

Joe Biden welcomed former rivals Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar and Beto O’Rourke into the fold Monday in a show of force by the Democratic Party’s establishment against front-runner Bernie Sanders the night before Super Tuesday.

Buttigieg and Klobuchar dropped out of the race in the last 24 hours and threw their support behind Biden, whose decisive win in South Carolina on Saturday appears to have cemented his status as the moderate alternative to Sanders’s democratic socialism.

The moves come just hours before polls open on Super Tuesday, when 14 states and one territory vote. The once-sprawling field is down to just five: Biden, Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Michael Bloomberg and Tulsi Gabbard.

The crowd of more than 2,000 in Dallas was the one of the biggest Biden has seen since he launched his presidential run last August.

Klobuchar announced her departure from the race at Biden’s rally and introduced the former vice president by saying, “I can’t think of a better way to end my campaign than joining his.”

Biden spoke at length about uniting not only the Democratic Party but also the country.

“We’re based on an idea,” he said after reciting the preamble to the Constitution. “We’ve never fully lived up to it but we’ve never walked away from it like this president has.”

In This Story: Vote

Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.

In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
