Washington, March 5 Senator Elizabeth Warren, the last woman left in the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination, is dropping out of the contest, reports said on Thursday.

The 70-year-old Senator's decision came after her dismal showing in 'Super Tuesday' phase of the Democratic primaries in which she was a poor third and could not even win her home state, Massachusetts.

It came a day after billionaire businessman and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg also pulled out, and endorsed current front-runner, former Vice-President Joe Biden.

Biden and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders are the two key candidates left in the race but Warren has not indicated whom she will support.
