Pete Buttigieg raised staggering $7 million in April alone

The Democrat equaled his first-quarter fundraising in one month, as he pushes for a huge haul to cement his top-tier status in the primary.

Pete Buttigieg’s campaign jolted its top donors with big news on a conference call last month: The upstart mayor had raised $7 million in the month of April alone, as much as Buttigieg had in his entire eye-catching first quarter in the presidential race.

The huge April haul, which was previously unreported, highlights Buttigieg’s explosive rise in the Democratic presidential race — and Buttigieg hopes to do it again next month by announcing a top-tier second quarter haul that at least doubles his last campaign finance report, putting the 37-year-old among the biggest fundraisers seeking the presidency in 2020 and cementing his leap from long shot status at the beginning this year.

So far I like his presence and quick responses making us realize he has thought things through. Not sure where he stands on everything yet, but plenty of time for comparisons.

My bar has been lowered so much, I'm just impressed that he appears to have a functioning prefrontal cortex. Big Grin

(I feel compelled to note that I've been on the Mayor Pete train since he ran for chair of the DNC.)

I think he sounds great, but I can't help fearing that the Trumpites won't tolerate a gay candidate, especially since Buttigieg is openly physically affectionate with his husband.

No, it shouldn't matter but it does and as we all know, the number one criterion for a Dem candidate is winnability.

He’s got the right temperament and a great bio. He’s young though.


One thing for sure, it’s hard to imagine any Democratic President not putting him in the cabinet somewhere. It’s a great career move for him to run. I think he’d find winning statewide office in IN a big challenge. This will allow him to skip that.

And he could conceivably get the nomination, of course. I’m just saying that he definitely wins either way.

VP?

I'd love to see a vice presidential debate with Mayor Pete and Pence.

How's he polling with the younger voters? Anyone that can get them to the polls looks good to me!
