South Bend's redevelopment program, that Mayor Pete listened to people and modified the program as needed. Not all mayors do that.

First Biden was torn down when he garnered significant support here. Now it is Mayor Pete. Watch to see which DUers criticize Mayor Pete most loudly. See which candidates they support. If they say they are undecided, look at who they DON'T criticize.

There is much more nuance to the story of the redevelopment program. There is much more to the story of his demotion of the police chief than the simplistic posts you are seeing here. Do your own research before you believe everything you see posted.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
