GOLDMAN SACHS: "… we now forecast US growth of 0.9% in Q1, 0% in Q2, 1% in Q3, and 2.25% in Q4, with the virus shaving about 1pp off of Q4/Q4 growth in 2020. While the US economy avoids recession in our baseline forecast, the downside risks have clearly grown." 😱

By then @PeteButtigieg knew he would drop out later in the day. He still went because it was the right thing to do. Meanwhile, @BernieSanders was flying off in some private jet in search of a crowd that would feed his massive ego. https://t.co/OUi8NeLQSj
