Pete Buttigieg's trajectory rests on convincing Democrats he can beat Pres. Trump. His rivals are now beginning to paint him as a lightweight—an attack that proved devastating for the last out-of-nowhere nice-guy phenom of the 2020 race, Beto O'Rourke.
Buckley, who is openly gay, said it was especially poignant for him recalling the"horror-fear" he felt about being in politics after San Francisco Board of Supervisors member Harvey Milk was assassinated in 1978.
Buttigieg bet everything on Iowa and people close to his campaign acknowledge he would likely be heading toward the exit if things had gone poorly there. But he's shown no success in building the multi-racial coalition that powered Obama's success, despite months of trying to change that narrative.In the most recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal national poll, Buttigieg and Sen. Amy Klobuchar were alone among the leading candidates in registering zero percent support among African-Americans.
"These aren't monolithic groups, but majorities want to back a winner," said Michael Halle, a senior adviser to the campaign."Being able to demonstrate success early was critical." Buttigieg's campaign has about 500 people on staff now, up from the four it started with in a former dentist office in South Bend, although some other campaigns have larger operations.
