Thoughts?

He's great, but no.

Mayors of small cities shouldn't run for President.

They would not be good Presidents.

Not Buttigieg, not Lumumba. Not my hometown mayor Toni Harp.

He'd get destroyed.

I'm sure Barack Obama would understand.

But yeah, he won't become president, at least not anytime soon. His model of economic development, which is what makes him stand out, is extremely community-oriented:

He's better off by example and bringing other leftist mayors into powers.

When his father was inaugurated as mayor, they all stood for the "national anthem" but instead of the Star Spangled Banner, it was some black liberation song.

I don't know if Antar (he's never gone by Chokwe except on the ballot) will do the same, but it surely wouldn't be good for his future ambitions to shun the SSB.

If I was ever elected mayor the song played would be Jawbreaker or Mineral or something.
