Emboldened by his win in South Carolina on Saturday, he thanked African American voters who propelled him foreward in that state’s primary race.

“Just a few days ago, the pundits declared my campaign dead. But then along came South Carolina and South Carolina had something to say about it. As I stand here today because of minority communities, I am very much alive because of you,” Biden said.

Biden spoke at Texas Southern University, a historically black college in Houston.

Shortly before Biden took the stage in Houston, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar ended her Democratic presidential campaign and planned to endorse Biden in an effort to unify moderate voters behind the former vice president’s White House bid.

Former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg also dropped out on Sunday, saying he no longer had a viable path to the nomination. He also plans to endorse Biden and appear with him at Monday night’s rally, according to two people familiar with his decision who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly about it.

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.
