I'm just looking into this candidate. I'm impressed so far. He speaks 8 languages, is well spoken, is Mid-western and a devout Christian. Someone mentioned his being openly gay. Maybe some prefer immorality and will vote for trump. There is not much we can do about that issue. Here's an interview of him on The View.

3 Candidates came to the SC side of the Charlotte metro this weekend. "Beh Toe", Booker and Buttigieg.
Pete Buttigieg had the biggest crowds by far. Looked like a full gymnasium and more
"Beh Toe" was at a coffee house. Looked like mostly party officials and all the tee vee crews. Very small.
Booker only managed a few people at what looked like Barbershop.
But........ Harris is outdoing all of them.
Harris will probably win the SC primary because a large number of Democrats in the state are African Americans. But once again SC is not a bellwether state that will be a Red State no matter who the Dems put up.
The big ones to watch as I keep saying are Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania the Democrat that gets the most support in those three states will be the most viable candidate
That's false. Obama made a big splash making the keynote speech in the 2004 Democratic Convention. That gave him a lot of buzz going into the 2008 nomination race.
I had heard of him before the race started. I've never heard of this guy (with good reason. He's a nothing mayor of a small city.) Obama was also a US Senator. When was the last time a mayor got a Presidential Nomination?
I know lots of people have their favorite contender being one of the minor players. But a minor player isn't going to win this. There are too many know candidates (and with a spread of positions) in this race.

Name recognition is seldom the most winning factor this early in a campaign season. This is the time in a campaign when a candidate has to concentrate on finding donors much more than getting known to the voters.
Without the money, the voters will never get the chance to know who most of the candidates are.
Most of them won't raise enough cash to last out the campaign.
Plus he served in the Military. His popularity is rising
That too. I'm not religious but I think we need someone with good values that will resonate with the middle of the country. His Christian values align with my personal values so I see eye to eye with him. I want to believe the immorality, lack of ethics, and the anti-Christian/values of love that permeate the right wing on sites like this represent the minority of Americans. We can hope and we can nominate a candidate that will speak to everyone. This is where H Clinton failed. She ignored the swing states due to not believing someone like trump would be elected. But, here we are. Let's hope someone like Buttigieg pushes the depravity we currently endure out the door.

Why? Beto has one of the most pro-Trump voting records in the House and Biden will run on no specific policy except pretending to oppose Trump on the issues.
I was a strong Beto supporter in his Texas senate race. Money, time and 6 weeks of his campaign having my house as a training center and BnB and dinner out of state volunteers. At the end, all those dollars I sent were used to house out of state volunteers in hotels.
We will not be supporting his POTUS run for many reasons. First off, we do not agree that he should even be in this race. Lately he sounds a little weird. His ego got the better of him with all that adulation. He's as bad as Trump. Born to run. I don't think so.:tape?
Pete is mayor of South Bend, Ind, population 102,245. Pete is only 37; I'd say run for US House first, then run for president after several terms.
Unfortunately for Buttigieg his local House district in Indiana (2nd) is not inclined to elect Democrats to Congress - it is very red territory outside the city of South Bend. The state of Indiana as a whole is not promising for Democrats either these days, so he has few prospects to move up in elected office. Maybe he will get an appointed position the next time there is a Democratic president, after a solid effort leading up to the primaries.
