Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced on Wednesday that he's suspending his presidential campaign and is endorsing former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden.

The announcement came after a disappointing finishing for Bloomberg in Super Tuesday's Democratic primaries, in which he only won American Samoa.

"I'm a believer in using data to inform decisions. After yesterday's results, the delegate math has become virtually impossible - and a viable path to the nomination no longer exists," Bloomberg said in a statement.

The billionaire also said he's glad to endorse Biden, who won most of the 14 states voting on Tuesday.
