Ms Klobuchar finished in third place in New Hampshire although still lagged behind her moderate rivals in every other state.

The move by Ms Klobuchar is being seen as a move to unify moderate voters behind Joe Biden in a bid to rival Senator Bernie Sanders.

She is flying to Dallas and plans to join Biden at his rally Monday night, according to her campaign.

Shortly before she made her announcement she told a rally in Salt Lake City that supporters had to come together to defeat the Republican President Donald Trump.

She told supporters at the 9am rally: “Remember what unites us is bigger than what divides us in our party, and really in our country.

“The heart of America is actually bigger than the heart of the guy in the White House. I think about that all the time.”

The Minnesota Senator also took a swipe at her Democrat opponents as well as knocking Mr Trump.

She referred to the need to understand the "difference between an plan and a pipe dream," in what is being seen as an attack on Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.

Sanders, who is currently the Democrat front-runner, ahead of Joe Biden, currently has 28 per cent support of likely voters in Utah's presidential primary on Tuesday, according to a Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll.

The contests offer the biggest one-day haul of the 1,991 delegates needed to win the party's nomination at its national convention in July, with about 1,357 delegates, or nearly one-third of the total number, up for grabs.

Billionaire former New York Mayor makes his first appearance on primary ballots in Super Tuesday states, where he has cbet hundreds of millions of dollars of his own money to boost his campaign.

Five contenders remain for the nomination to take on Republican President Donald Trump in the November election, down from more than 20 earlier in the race.

Klobuchar was the third presidential candidate to drop out of the race in less than 49 hours, following late Sunday and Tom Steyer's exit late Saturday.

Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana who entered the Democratic presidential race as a relative unknown, ended his White House bid on Sunday.

Klobuchar outlasted several better-known and better-funded Democrats, thanks to a better-than-expected third-place finish in in New Hampshire. But she couldn't turn that into success elsewhere, as she struggled to build out a campaign that could compete across the country and had poor showings in the next contests.

The three-term senator had one of this cycle's more memorable campaign launches, standing outside in a Minnesota snowstorm last February to tout her grit and Midwestern sensibilities. Klobuchar argued that her record of getting things done in Washington and winning even in Republican parts of her state would help her win traditionally Democratic heartland states like Wisconsin and Michigan that flipped in 2016 to give Donald Trump the presidency.
