Having failed to gain traction with African American voters so far, Pete Buttigieg’s campaign is taking a different approach to his three-day swing through South Carolina: Keep it small
Kimpson said Buttigieg is planning to return to do a larger town hall with him in January.
Meanwhile, video footage of the mayor’s 2011 comment that low-income, minority students lacked role models triggered a scathing essay in The Root, followed by another post, released hours later, that featured a conversation between author Michael Harriot and Buttigieg. Cobb-Hunter noted that Buttigieg isn’t the only one dealing with challenges among black voters — “that applies to Bernie Sanders and, to some extent, to Elizabeth Warren, too,” she said. But holding smaller meetings that allow for one-on-one conversations, away from news cameras, “shows intentionality and shows [Buttigieg] understands what his task is,” Cobb-Hunter added.
On Monday, Buttigieg visited Orangeburg again — but this time, he toured South Carolina State University, a historically black school, and bowled strikes with students at a bowling alley where three black men died in 1968 after South Carolina police shot at unarmed protestors demonstrating against racial segregation.

When Pete Listens, What Does He Hear?Pete Buttigieg, a man who is very upset about the fact that public goods benefit everyone, has some problems with black and Latinx voters. Namely, that they don’t like him. In a recent Quinnipiac poll, Buttigieg is polling at zero percent with black voters in South Carolina—ouch! He’s not faring much better with Latinx voters, with whom his numbers are stuck in the low single digits, and at one percent in the important state of Nevada.
