Rep. Tulsi Gabbard's (D., Hawaii) decision to suspend her female presidential campaign on Thursday ensures America's 232-year streak of having a male commander in chief will remain unbroken. 
Five of Joe Biden's new Democratic endorsers had sharp words for him when they were mounting their own presidential bids, attacking him on race, representing a bygone era, and even his cognitive functioning. 
Sen. Elizabeth Warren's (D., Mass.) presidential campaign is over. She's still in the race, for now, but she is not going to be the Democratic Party's nominee in 2020. All that remains to be seen at this point is A) when she'll drop out, and B) whether she'll endorse Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) and help him clinch the nomination or shiv him in the back like the opportunistic snake she is accused (by some) of being. 
Black voters in South Carolina on Friday criticized Sen. Kamala Harris's (D., Calif.) now defunct presidential campaign, saying it assumed too much about the black vote and lacked "consistency." 
Author and spiritual guru Marianne Williamson dropped out of the 2020 Democratic presidential race Friday, staying in the fight far longer than such candidates as Beto O'Rourke and Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.). 
Maeve Reston, CNN's national political reporter on the 2020 beat, has performed journalism on many of the leading candidates seeking the Democratic nomination.

December 2019 is shaping up to be one of the most momentous months on record for the pro-truancy movement. One week after Kamala Harris, the anti-truant former attorney general of California, ended her failed presidential campaign, celebrity truant and climate activist Greta Thunberg was named Time magazine's "Person of the Year." Pundits have a ready explanation when one of their favorites loses or ends a campaign: The voters just didn't get to know the candidate the way media do. He or she was too wonky, or eager to please, or insular, or revealing, or uncertain for the masses. The electoral process made it impossible for him or her to connect with voters. The classic example is Hillary Clinton, who has re-introduced herself to the public umpteen times over the decades. A friend who knows her once told me I would like Clinton if only I got to meet her informally. I had a good laugh at that one. 
The media is mourning the end of Sen. Kamala Harris's (D., Calif.) 2020 presidential hopes, wondering why she collapsed so spectacularly from her summer polling apex.
