(CNN) – Senator Amy Klobuchar will end her presidential campaign on Monday, a campaign advisor told CNN.
The announcement will be made tonight in Dallas, where Minnesota Senator will support former Vice President Joe Biden at a rally.
Klobuchar’s path to the nomination almost closed after she finished sixth in Nevada and South Carolina, a sign that the surprising performance of the Minnesota senator in New Hampshire would not be enough to push her toward the nomination.
The endorsement is a blessing to Biden, who, after a runaway victory in South Carolina, is now seen as the most viable moderate candidate to face Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
The climax of the Klobuchar campaign came in mid-February when a strong debate days before the New Hampshire primary led him to third place in the state.
The lack of organization on the ground in Nevada and South Carolina, along with the senator’s inability to win over Latino and black voters, eventually stalled his candidacy.
