Our country would benefit greatly from a Pete Buttigieg presidency. Hes an outstanding candidate.

Indiana needs a Democratic resurgence. He could possibly be a part of this.

The state is still very red and with the gerrymandering done by the republicans, they hold the edge.

He has name recognition.
Will it be difficult? Possibly, but he shouldn't give up so easily.

But this is not easy, not one little bit. Possibly difficult doesn't even begin to describe the situation.
Even in South Bend, the Republicans outnumber the Democrats. The main reason he won was that they know him, and they don't care about his sexuality. They know he gets results. It's much harder to show that in any meaningful way state-wide.
