Pete Buttigieg spoke late Sunday by telephone with both Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama after Buttigieg dropped out of the presidential race, according to people familiar with the call.

Buttigieg’s departure from the race could benefit Biden’s candidacy as he looks to lock down support from the moderate wing of the Democratic Party and blunt Bernie Sanders’ momentum.

Biden praised Buttigieg on ABC’s “Good Morning America” and said he could see him serving in his administration. He also said that Buttigieg’s exit would smooth his own path to the nomination.

“He was a real competitor. He is a real competitor. And I think it probably does,” he said.
