Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar has ended her presidential bid, and social media had a number of reactions to the news.

Per The Washington Post, Klobuchar dropped out after she finished with 3.1% in the South Carolina primary and with no delegates. She dropped out one day after former South Bend, Indiana, mayor Pete Buttigieg dropped out, too.
An hour before she dropped out, Klobuchar spoke in Utah where she poked at primary rivals , including Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. She also slammed President Donald Trump.
Klobuchar said: “The heart of America is actually bigger than the heart of the guy in the White House. I think about that all the time.”
Here’s the social media reaction:

Klobuchar's major support group was whites with a college degree. Specifically, white women with a college degree. It's Sanders' worst demographic group. Biden cleaned up with them in SC. Lots of em in Texas & Virginia.

Hard to overstate how much Sanders would benefit from a Warren endorsement right now

Amy Klobuchar - what a powerhouse. You fought harder than anyone. The country is better and stronger for your service. We know you’ll be back in no time because you never rest and we still need you. Congrats on a phenomenal race. pic.twitter.com/PRx5iZ9Iny

The departure of Klobuchar and Buttigieg from the race consolidates the establishment moderate support from elites, but polling on second choices shows much more variety among voters.

Thank you, @amyklobuchar for bringing your mid-west values and pragmatism to the 2020 race. You + @KamalaHarris, @SenGillibrand and @ewarren showed little girls all across the country, that in America, little girls can run for President when they grow-up. https://t.co/9FPTFQkTdU
