Buttigieg has shown that being mayor gives him real governing experience. In South Bend, being mayor means he is responsible for a lot of the day to day details. It is not an honorary post that so many towns have. In those places, the city manager is the responsible head.

He understands what it means to face the continuing challenges of climate change. How many Senators can say that?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
