For next Sunday, has requested a Pete Buttigieg, a road barrier in his native city of South Bend in the state of Indiana. It should be a “special event”. Officially, it is not known what this event is, but it is an open secret of what will happen: The 37-year-old Buttigieg wants to explain that he wants to be President of the United States.
Still, he is in the exploratory phase. That is, he clarifies whether or not a candidate could have any chance of success. After he was able to collect in three months, surprisingly around seven million dollars in donations, answered this question. Buttigieg may not be the favorite in the over-sized field of Candidates in the Democrats , but he is certainly one of the most interesting candidates.
so Far, hardly anyone knew outside of South Bend, as the Name of the candidate is to pronounce: “Buhtidschidsch”. His father migrated from Malta, where the Name was right-usually, he told. Father and mother worked at the University of South Bend as professors. Pete grew up in the vicinity of the Campus and the high school where he graduated as valedictorian.
In Harvard, he studied history and literature, in Oxford, he enrolled for the degree programme in philosophy, politics and Economics, too many British politicians have been completed. What do you do with such skills? Buttigieg worked for the consultants McKinsey, and then decided to go back to South Bend, which was then known as “the dying city”. At the age of 29, Buttigieg was elected the mayor.
He is eloquent, clever, calm and friendly.
The young town head to let demolish the old factory building, moved to new jobs and made the unemployment in the 100’000 inhabitants of the half-city. In 2015, he was elected with 80 percent of the vote. Shortly before the election he had made public that he is gay. In 2018, he married his Partner in a Church ceremony. Additionally, he served between seven months as an officer in Afghanistan.
Since he stated that he has taken the White house in the eye, is widely asked whether it was really possible that the US choose a gay small town mayor who would be at his swearing in just 39 years old and the youngest President in the history. Under normal circumstances, the answer is: of course. But since a few weeks Buttigieg takes the Americans.
He is eloquent, clever, calm and friendly. And he has concrete ideas of what he wants: the electoral system reform, health insurance reform, for a policy of Fairness arise. Buttigieg, it is possible to fill in these goals with life. In Interviews and at the lecterns, he exudes great sovereignty, but never exaggerated self-confident or even arrogant. If it is the exact opposite of the loud, lying, and constantly self-praising President Donald Trump would design, would Pete Buttigieg.
