NEW: Joe Biden won Minnesota on Tuesday night, NBCNews projected, a day after home state Sen. Amy Klobuchar dropped out of the race and endorsed the former vice president.
"I cannot think of a better way to end my campaign than by joining his," Klobuchar said at a Biden rally in Texas.
The senator remains extremely popular in Minnesota — 75 percent of the state's Democratic voters expressed a favorable opinion of her, according to the NBC News Exit poll on Super Tuesday — suggesting her endorsement may have had some pull there. Following Klobuchar's endorsement, the Biden campaign announced that 35 key Minnesota local and statewide elected officials, community leaders and advocates had endorsed Biden. And Klobuchar emailed her supporters encouraging them to donate to Biden's campaign.
