There is something to be said about peaking too early in primaries. Entrepreneur Andrew Yang and Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) have ended their run for the White House. Former Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick is expected to follow suit. Joe Biden did not fair well in New Hampshire but vows to continue his campaign.

99.9% — that’s the percentage of African-American voters who have not yet had a chance to vote in this nomination process. You cannot and should not win the Democratic nomination for President without the support of black and brown voters.
