Nov 2019

Pete is pretty unknown but if he wins Iowa and the media blitz that follows AA along with everyone else will start to look at him as a real candidate. Once they get to know him then they will decide. But right now he is "johnny come lately candidate" as you like to call it.

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