FACT: Trump Is Now the Youngest Male Running For 2020 Presidency
When Donald Trump ran for the presidency in 2016, Democrats repeatedly cited his age as a reason he should not be elected president. Fast-forward four years later and now President Trump is the
youngest male seeking the presidency.
This unique fact occurred when former Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg has dropped from the running on Sunday evening.
Buttigieg announced he was suspending his candidacy immediately following Biden’s win in South Carolina and just days before Super Tuesday.
Reuters reports:
The move shook up the Democratic contest to pick a candidate to take on Republican President Donald Trump in November’s election and came two days before the 14-state Super Tuesday nominating contests that will offer the biggest electoral prize so far.
Buttigieg, a 38-year-old former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, who gained early momentum after he narrowly won the Iowa caucuses last month and finished a close second in New Hampshire, had sought to unite Democrats, independents and moderate Republican voters. But he finished a distant third in Nevada and fourth in South Carolina.
“Today is a moment of truth … the truth is that the path has narrowed to a close for our candidacy if not for our cause,” Buttigieg told supporters in South Bend on Sunday night. “Our goal has always been to unify Americans to help defeat Donald Trump and to win the era for our values.”
