Coming off a strong showing in Iowa, Pete Buttigieg turned his focus Tuesday to New Hampshire.
CONCORD, N.H. — Coming off what looks like at least a close second-place finish in Iowa, former South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg turned his focus Tuesday to New Hampshire with a hectic schedule of speeches and town halls.
Buttigieg declared at least a moral victory in Iowa on Monday night, based on his own campaign’s analysis of the data, something supporters of his rivals considered bad sportsmanship. #MayorCheat briefly trended on Twitter. Whether or not Buttigieg actually won is still unclear. The Iowa Democratic Party has faced devastating criticism for bungling the reporting of results on Monday night and releasing a partial tally the next day that may not reflect the ultimate order of finish.
Story continues“And, then we got the official word today,” he went on, citing the partial results that put him in the delegate lead. “Now let me say, that we're still waiting for more math to come through, but what we know, without any doubt, is that our vision has been validated, and that this is an astonishing victory for our organization, our values, our campaign and our candidates.
Despite his positive coverage during most of 2019, Buttigieg has failed to gain traction with minority communities. A poll of South Carolina released last week showed him barely registering with black voters there, which tracks with recent national polling. Buttigieg has said voters of color just need more time to get to know him, but the clock is ticking as the campaign is set to move past the predominantly white states of Iowa and New Hampshire.
