1 / 2 -- Mayor Pete Buttigieg, an underdog in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary race who’s seen an uptick in support in recent weeks, called for a new generation of American leadership as he became the 18th candidate to formally join the fold.
The mayor, who has overseen that city since 2012, would be the youngest and first openly gay U.S. president, if elected. His northern Indiana community of about 102,000 people is best known for the nearby University of Notre Dame. “The forces changing our country today are tectonic,” he said. “Forces that help to explain what made this current presidency even possible. That’s why, this time, it’s not just about winning an election -- it’s about winning an era.”With a name that’s challenging to pronounce , Buttigieg has been traveling through early primary and caucus states and sitting for just about any television interview he can find.
Recent polls in the first two states that will hold Democratic nomination contests early next year -- Iowa and New Hampshire -- showed a surge in support for Buttigieg, even as former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont remain the front-runners.
Beam said he suspects that “45 percent of the country won’t like that he’s gay,” but that Buttigieg’s military background and comfort with speaking about his Christian faith may help him compete against Trump in a general election. “They’d have to work harder to throw mud at him,” he said.
