In the sprawling 2020 Democratic field, Pete Buttigieg may be the unlikeliest serious contender of all. He’s just 37 years old. He’s the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, a city of barely more than 100,000 people. If elected, he would become the youngest president in American history, and the first to be openly-gay. Yet Buttigieg has a remarkably broad range of experiences and talents. After graduating from Harvard, he became a Rhodes Scholar. He advised major businesses as a McKinsey and Company management consultant. He won the mayoralty at age 29 and then, while serving, was deployed as a Naval intelligence reserve officer to Afghanistan. He speaks seven languages, and has performed Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue on piano with the South Bend Symphony. Even while officially just “exploring” a Democratic nominate bid, Buttigieg has ridden his millennial appeal past more experienced rivals in some polls and in fund-raising. The $7-million he raised in the first quarter of 2019 exceeded the totals of Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuhar and Cory Booker. As he prepares to formally announce on April 14, I sat down with Buttigieg at a veterans service organization in Las Vegas to discuss his approach to economic change. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Produced by: Mary Catherine Wellons & Pat Anastasi Edited by: Shari Rosen & Geoff Dills
