Pete Buttigieg traveled more than 100 miles through the Granite State on a bus emblazoned with his name and packed with over a dozen journalists. It’s a spectacle that hasn’t been seen recent presidential races, but it’s part of a freewheeling strategy has helped bring Buttigieg from relative obscurity
about his relative inexperience. He brushed off that critique when asked about it on the bus.
That military experience is something that Buttigieg said “shapes my understanding of what public office means.” The mayor spent last Monday in New Hampshire celebrating Veteran’s Day and he rolled out a plan for veterans’ services including an emphasis on programs for their families. “It’s true that I haven’t been in the room for all of those community meetings, but I’ve certainly participated and I think they’ve set us up in a very good direction. They’ve culminated in a set of recommendations that went to our board of public safety … and the board will be taking those up,” he said. “I think at least some of those components will be acted on in even the weeks before I leave office.
While in some ways Buttigieg is an unconventional candidate, he is pushing for a more moderate approach than many of his rivals. Along with his nonstop media blitz, Buttigieg’s success so far is, at least in part, due to voters who are looking for a centrist option in the Democratic field. Both Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren support a “Medicare For All” plan that would establish a public healthcare system.
