US: Elizabeth Warren ending White House race: report

By Servet Gunerigok

WASHINGTON (AA) - U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren is dropping out of the presidential race, according to the New York Times on Thursday.

The newspaper said Warren "will inform her staff of her plans later this morning,” citing a person close to the Massachusetts lawmaker who suffered a disappointing result on Super Tuesday.

In a major blow to Warren, former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden took top place in her home state with Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders coming in second in primary reselts. Warren was on track to finish in third, increasing questions about the viability of her campaign.

The report of her dropout came a day after former billionaire New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg ended his presidential campaign, a day after he had a single win on Super Tuesday.

The remaining Democratic contenders include Biden, Sanders and congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.
