Tom Steyer Drops Out After Getting Spanked By Joe Biden In South Carolina

Update (1035ET): And there it is.

In a tweet confirming his decision to drop out, Steyer reminds the voters who rejected him that he got into this race to “fight for racial, climate and economic justice,” before inviting them to “Join me in doing whatever it takes to beat Mr. Trump.”

Does that mean you’ll support Bernie Sanders financially and with your endorsement if he wins the nomination?

Well…

As the Washington Examiner put it, “After half a year and more than $200 million spent, Tom Steyer finally closed the door on his spectacular failure of a mid-life crisis masquerading as a presidential campaign.”

Nicely done.

We’d also like to note that Robyn Kanner, a web designer who has worked for at least one democratic campaign this election cycle, and is now employed at a political consulting firm, tweeted earlier that “we’re only 72 hours from an overwhelming majority of Presidential candidates dropping out.”

Update (2156ET): Still nothing on Steyer’s twitter feed (no slickly produced video? We thought that was your thing?) but Bloomberg has apparently confirmed.

  • TOM STEYER ENDS CAMPAIGN FOR THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT – CAMPAIGN SOURCE

Steyer has zero delegates, and despite being on track for a third-place finish Saturday night in SC, he likely won’t pick up any delegates. We suspect the quest for his endorsement won’t be all that fierce among his former rivals.

Leave it to a comically out-of-touch billionaire to go out on a low note.

After Joe Biden savagely spanked him in front of millions of Americans during the pre-SC debate, then spanked him again in the actual primary, which Biden is projected to win by a surprisingly large margin, billionaire financier Tom Steyer is reportedly dropping out of the Democratic Primary.

There hasn’t been any official word out of the Steyer camp yet; the last thing the ‘candidate’ tweeted was a tweet urging supporters to go out and support the race’s true champion of climate justice, an issue that Biden, Bloomberg and the rest of the Democratic pack brutalized him over his investing record (which of course includes holdings in fossil fuel companies etc…).

Steyer is most famous for financing an advertising campaign urging lawmakers to sign his petition to impeach President Trump – he called it the ‘Need to Impeach’ campaign. They eventually did, but we suspect that Steyer’s unyielding support for the issue had little to do with it.

Sayonara, Tom. We’ll miss you, and your dumb tie, too.
