Lima Mayor David Berger spoke to Your Hometown Stations about Pete Buttigieg's decision to suspend his presidential campaign. Berger had previously endorsed Buttigieg and says it's disappointing his campaign has come to this. Berger says the former mayor of South Bend kept expectations realistic but gaining no significant support from African-American voters in South Carolina hurt him. Berger believes Buttigieg still accomplished great work. As a centrist, Berger thinks his supporters will now gravitate toward Joe Biden or Mike Bloomberg.

After the first primary and caucus, political science professor Rob Alexander reflects on how the Democratic field is shaping up. Alexander of Ohio Northern University said Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg have done well early. He said he finds it interesting that Elizabeth Warren hasn't gained any steam, Joe Biden finished fourth and fifth in those polls and Amy Klobuchar has done better than expected. The next big tests are the Nevada Caucus and South Carolina Primary, which Alexander said are big tests, specifically for Biden and Warren. What's keeping things interesting is the proportional representation the party is using.
