Mini Mike Bloomberg has just announced he’s dropping out of the race and he’s taking all his ads with him:

Bloomberg did terribly last night, only snaring 44 delegates via the AP’s delegate tracker. Whatever he got, it was tiny compared to Sanders and Biden.
Speaking of Biden, Bloomberg also endorsed him on the way out:
Bloomberg drops out of 2020 primary race, endorses Joe Biden.
BLOOMBERG STATEMENT: "it is clear that candidate is my friend and a great American, Joe Biden…I am glad to endorse him – and I will work to make him the next President of the United States."

The fix is in. Biden is getting all of the endorsements as candidates drop out of the race and Sanders is getting zilch.
UPDATE: Trump responds to Bloomberg getting out of the race, saying “Mini Mike Bloomberg just “quit” the race for President. I could have told him long ago that he didn’t have what it takes, and he would have saved himself a billion dollars, the real cost. Now he will pour money into Sleepy Joe’s campaign, hoping to save face. It won’t work!”
