Two decades ago, Pete Buttigieg composed a nearly 1,000-word tribute to Bernie Sanders that would earn the teenager top honors in an essay contest. Flash forward to 2020, and Buttigieg is locked in a tense primary fight with the man he once praised.
He spoke glowingly of Sanders' candor and conviction in an essay that would earn the teenager top honors in an essay contest. Flash forward to 2020, and Buttigieg is locked in a tense primary fight with the man he once praised. Sanders has refocused some of his attacks on the former mayor, the latest business-friendly, moderate stand-in for the political establishment, while Buttigieg now finds himself in the awkward position of lobbing grenades at the Vermont senator.
For Buttigieg, the back-and-forth with Sanders is playing out like a Greek tragedy -- or comedy, depending on where you stand -- amid a less quirky pile-on from his moderate rivals, who have spent the last few days trying to blunt his momentum. In one of the primary's harshest ads, Biden mocked the former mayor as a small-time politician comically unqualified for the presidency.
