Pete Buttigieg 2020 campaign megathread

Buttigieg is great but realistically he's running for a cabinet post here.

As an aside, this is a terrible move if he wants to get elected Governor in 2020/2024. The last thing he needs is to be connected to the national party.

I understand Indiana isn't hospitable to the modern Democratic party and is trending away, but Buttigieg could at least run for something he has an actual chance of winning in his home state.

What would that even be? IN-02 is possible, but Mel Hall was a good candidate and he didn't come close. If Donnelly couldn't win the Senate race last year as an incumbent, Buttigieg would have no chance at unseating Young or Braun. And the governorship is possible, but certainly not until 2024 seeing as Holcomb is pretty popular.
