South Bend city councilman Oliver Davis said he doubts Buttigieg could beat Trump, given his low levels of black support.
The longest-serving African American man on the South Bend, Ind., Common Council is endorsing Joe Biden for president, a rejection of Pete Buttigieg that highlights the South Bend mayor’s struggles with black voters.
In an interview on CNN on Friday, Buttigieg acknowledged having disagreements with Davis but stressed that the councilman is just one person. Story continuesDavis insisted his comment that Biden’s numbers are “not a fluke” wasn’t a jab at Buttigieg, who surged to first in Iowa’s flagship poll recently but hasn’t yet proved that he has staying power in the national nominating contest or in the first-in-the-nation caucus state.
According to the Buttigieg campaign, 41 percent of its 430 staffers are people of color, Buttigieg has black staffers in senior positions throughout the city government and roughly 40 percent of the people who have worked in his office during his second term are people of color.
