One thing though, these types of things can't be helpful to the political future of Pete Buttigieg. Between airline issues and rail strikes and shipping/port issues, he has been very politically unlucky.

- ceejayoz 4y agoThat's fairly normal. Secretaries who become The Story tend to find that's not a good spot, even if it's for positive reasons. Buttigieg's biggest asset is likely his ability to get on Fox News for an interview and steamroller over their usual rhetorical tactics.
