Being overtaken by Mayor Pete, really. They endorsed him because they believe in him. vsrazdem Oct 2019 #10

Hopefully he will endorse the nominee once it is established unlike last time. redstateblues Oct 2019 #11

Not sure he will. He has already stated publicly that he doesn't know if he will support EW Thekaspervote Oct 2019 #16
