US Senator Amy Klobuchar is ending her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination and endorsing rival Joe Biden, her campaign confirmed on Monday.
Klobuchar, whose campaign failed build momentum, will try to throw her support behind the former vice-president in a bid to consolidate the moderate vote and stop liberal US Senator Bernie Sanders.
Fellow moderate Pete Buttigieg, who dropped out of the race on Sunday, also plans to endorse Biden.
The Minnesota senator will announce the suspension of her White House campaign in Dallas, Texas, a campaign aide said.

Klobuchar’s withdrawal the day before “Super Tuesday” leaves five Democrats in the race for the party’s nod to run against Republican incumbent Donald Trump in November.
The Super Tuesday contests offer the biggest one-day haul of the 1,991 delegates needed to win the party’s nomination at its national convention in July, with about 1,357 delegates, or nearly one-third of the total number, up for grabs.
A reinvigorated Biden, fresh off a resounding victory in Saturday’s South Carolina primary, is heading into Super Tuesday with fresh, high-profile endorsements and aiming for a strong showing against Sanders, the national front-runner and a democratic socialist from Vermont.
Billionaire former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg makes his first appearance on primary ballots in Super Tuesday states, where he has bet hundreds of millions of dollars of his own money to boost his campaign.
