Susan Rice, Obama’s former national security adviser, donated $1,000 to Pete Buttigieg's campaign.
South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg officially launched his 2020 presidential campaign on Sunday and immediately drew comparisons to a young Barack Obama.
Obama has met with Buttigieg in person on multiple occasions to “talk politics.” In a 2016 interview with David Remnick, Obama mentioned Buttigieg in the same breath as Kamala Harris as possible 2020 contenders. In recent weeks the Harvard-educated Rhodes scholar, polyglot and military veteran has propelled upward in early Democratic primary polls, moving from less than 1 percent to steady support of around 10 percent.
“Inspired yet analytical, he seemed a welcome alternative to the bravado of President Bush, and yet, unlike most running for Congress or Senate that year, he was able to campaign with very little reference to the Republican side at all,” wrote Buttigieg in his book, Shortest Way Home, about what attracted him to the Obama campaign. In his speech Sunday, Buttigieg did not mention Trump once.
