Candidates Who Have Pulled Out of the Race Can Still Have an Impact

VOA News

   Democrats Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar have all but given up their
   hopes of becoming the next president of the United States, but both can
   still have a major impact on who could be sitting in the Oval Office
   after January 20.

   Buttigieg and Klobuchar are technically still presidential candidates
   because they have formally suspended their campaigns rather than
   dropped out.

   By technically remaining in the race, they have control over what
   happens to the delegates they won in the four early nominating contests
   held before Super Tuesday -- 26 for Buttigieg and seven for Klobuchar.
   Those numbers could even go higher because early voting and absentee
   ballots are still being tabulated.
