Pete Buttigieg on election results, paying for health care and bringing America together | PBS NewsHour
Pete Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and a Democratic 2020 presidential hopeful, hailed this week’s election results in Virginia and Kentucky, where Democrats won close elections in traditionally Republican areas.
“I’ve always said there’s no such thing as a permanently red state,” he said. He called the “encouraging” results a rejection of President Donald Trump.
“What it tells you is that a lot of people, including people in the habit of voting Republican, are fed up with what the Republican Party is doing right now, in particular its embrace of a president who goes against every value, progressive and conservative, that we used to count on from either party,” he said.
