Dear readers, we've just launched the Palmer Report 2025 Operating Expenses Fund. If we can fully fund this, it'll bridge the gap and ensure that Palmer Report can keep fighting now and forever.

The thing about politics is that things don’t tend to happen by mere happenstance. This morning Pete Buttigieg let it be known to the media that he was staying in the race. This evening he let it be known to the media that he was dropping out. What changed? He surely looked at the math and saw that by dropping out now instead of dragging things out til after Super Tuesday, he could help tilt the race toward Joe Biden over Bernie Sanders. This has led to questions about whether Pete and Biden are coordinating for what comes next.

Now we have our answer: they’re at least trying to. More importantly, they want us to know that they’re working on it. MSNBC host Craig Melvin posted this tweet this evening from an inside source:

To be clear, these kinds of things only get leaked from the campaigns themselves, and then only if both campaigns want the information to be out there. In other words, Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg want us to know they’re cooking up something together. Is it an endorsement? Is it an event? Is it an announcement that Buttigieg will be Biden’s pick for Secretary of Defense? We’ll have to wait for that part.
